Minutes from the trendy bars and eateries of Westbourne Grove and a quick 10-minute walk from the delights of Portobello Road, this home is primely located. The inside has been beautifully and thoughtfully decorated to create a soothing and distinctly playful retreat in the city. We love the not-quite-peach walls of the light-filled living areas, the structural dining table with cane-backed chairs, and of course, the hanging wicker armchair. Contemporary wall art, metallic light fixtures and beautiful rugs complete the home’s look, and the bedrooms continue its singular style with an inventive wood bunk bed and plush sage bed frame – both make for alluring places to hang your head at the end of the night. But before then, we’d love to savour a glass of wine or a good book in the floating chair, which is sure to delight guests of any age. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
