Portobello

You’ll be striding through bustling Notting Hill in no time at this smart apartment set just a three-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate Tube Station. Take your pick from Portobello Market, Kensington Gardens or Notting Hill Farmers Market – it’s all just a short stroll away. With a private entrance and suntrap patio to call your own, it’s easy to see why this Victorian townhouse apartment caught our eye. It’s worth noting that if six of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but if you’re a family looking for a bolthole in the city, this could be it.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space. If you’d like ample space for socialising, we’d recommend this home for four guests. *A cot is available on request. *As a lower-level apartment, there’s a short flight of steps leading down to the entrance, which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility. *This apartment offers a contact-free check-in, but there’s 24/7 virtual support should you need anything. Early check-in or late checkout may be available but by request only. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *The outside patio is a little tired compared to the interiors.
