The Blue Door

This is a classic, shabby chic Notting Hill flat. The huge bay window and sense of space in the living room make it feel incredibly relaxing and calm. It's not stuffed full of hi-tech entertainment and isn't super luxurious, but if you want a peaceful haven this is a proper gem. Perhaps the biggest highlight is the outdoor patio and gate leading onto the communal garden. Literally, nothing could be more classical Notting Hill.

Home truths:
*The entrance is quite hard to find but your host will direct you in detail
*There are private laundry facilities but they are in a room that you enter from the communal entrance rather than being contained in the flat
*The home does not have a home manual – please ask your host if you have any appliance or home-related questions
