Mozart's Courtyard

Cool couple seeking a romantic retreat? Here’s one for you: a vibrant apartment in emerging north-west London. Architect owner Oliver has designed it, using lots of reclaimed wood and incorporating neat design touches – like concrete blocks become bedside tables, or bubble lights above the Saarinen table. His plant–lined private terrace suits summer evenings, while a window-side bathtub stands ready for rainy days. The surrounding neighbourhood, pleasant and quiet, is within pleasant strolling distance of Notting Hill and lovely Little Venice.

Home truths:
*The closest tube stations are both 7 mins walking distance, a good reason to explore both Queens Park and Westbourne Grove area.
*2 can sleep on the sofa bed, however, the apartment is more ideal for a couple.
*The shower is inside of the bathtub – this is not suitable for those with restricted mobility.
*The central heating is controlled by the owner – please ask your host about this.
*It is not an obvious destination, but it's surrounded by several classic and trendy neighbourhoods like Notting Hill and Maida Vale.
