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 10 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
