Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked into the heart of Notting Hill, this apartment is a characterful base in one of London's most sought-after neighbourhoods. The living and dining area is decorated with wall hangings woven by the host's daughter, alongside curated artwork that makes the space feel entirely its own. Portobello Road market, Kensington Gardens, and two Tube stations are all under a ten-minute walk away – so the best of West London is very much on your doorstep.

Home truths
You'll navigate two flights of stairs here – one to reach the entrance on the first floor, and a second to get up to the bedrooms. There's no lift, so this apartment may not suit guests with mobility considerations or those travelling with heavy luggage.
While this home can accommodate one additional guest on the single day bed in the living area, the maximum occupancy is four guests.
The upper bunk of the bunk bed in bedroom two has limited headroom, so we think it's better suited to children rather than adult guests.
This is a lived-in home, which we think adds to the charm. Expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
You’ll be required to sign a digital rental agreement from the host prior to your stay for security and insurance purposes. Your host will send this to you after your booking is confirmed.
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old to rent this home.
