Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This cosy apartment makes an excellent base in central London. It's close to Hyde Park and Notting Hill, while Bayswater's shops and diverse eateries are practically on your doorstep. Exploring on foot isn't a problem, either – both Paddington and Royal Oak stations are a quick stroll away. We love the eclectic design inside, even if the artwork is a little more adult. The living area has plenty of cushy seating to accommodate everyone, while the kitchen is well-appointed if you're keen to cook at home. With a duo of bedrooms and bathrooms, it works well for friends and small families travelling together.
