Sitting across from Queen's Park, this family home provides a comfortable, stylish base right in the heart of North-West London. Take morning strolls over the road, follow the canal down to Little Venice and reach the shops, restaurants and bars of Paddington nearby. You're also just a thirty-minute walk from lively Notting Hill for a fun-filled day trip to the markets. Back home, you'll find bright and bold interiors where dramatic skylights invite plenty of natural sunlight into an open chef's kitchen and dining area. The sitting room is grand and comforting, while our favourite spot is the well-kept garden, complete with an outdoor dining table and a trampoline for the kids. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
