If you're searching for a base from which to explore the delights of Notting Hill, Little Venice and Hyde Park, look no further. It's a small but mighty home located in a quiet street just off the cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Bayswater. Delve into the vintage clothes, crafts and trinkets of trendy Notting Hill, wandering down cobblestone avenues, perusing colourful buildings and hunting for antique treasures. Stop off at an independent bookshop and a classy café on the way home for a little breather. When – full of caffeine and caught up on literature – you do eventually return to your new home-from-home, the leafy green expanse of Hyde Park, just a twenty-three-minute walk away, comes calling for a romantic picnic or a gentle stroll. Stepping in to look around the home's interior, you'll find a bright and retro-styled space with vibrant pops of colour, chic stools and tasteful artwork – it's the type of home in which you'll soon feel all warm and settled. The perfect West London bolthole.
