Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This adults-only home provides a cosy retreat right in the heart of West London. And just like its surroundings, the rooms are packed with personality. There’s also a sweet little terrace – perfect for sunset drinks – plus a dedicated concierge service is on hand to ensure every moment of your stay feels personal. As this flat is above a cafe, you're just steps away from a delicious cup of coffee – although we suggest packing earplugs if you're sensitive to noise. From here, it’s just a short walk to Portobello Road and Notting Hill, with Royal Oak tube station just ten minutes away. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
