Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This cosy Notting Hill home has a real sense of warmth and comfort. We loved the eclectic interior which skilfully combines vintage and contemporary details. It's been newly refurbished so it’s also in very good condition. While the kitchen is not the largest, your host is a chef, so it was unsurprisingly one of the most well stocked kitchens we’ve had the pleasure to visit. There’s no TV, so it’s light on entertainment, but the location is truly unbeatable. In the heart of the neighbourhood and close to Portobello Road, there’s an array of attractions on your doorstep.
