This lovely home is an ideal choice for a family looking for a stylish stay in a quieter London neighbourhood. We were very impressed with the neatness of the home and its spotless condition, offering cosy and modern spaces that feel homely and not cluttered. The gorgeous skylights in the kitchen and the huge windows overlooking the garden make the most out of the morning sunlight. The surrounding location has a peaceful and community feel, with green spaces and cute cafes within walking distance. Portobello and Notting Hill are also easily reachable by bus.
