The Equinox

Set in a quiet corner of Notting Hill, yet with buzzy Portobello Market and Westbourne Grove a stroll away and the underground even closer, the location of this apartment is hard to beat. Housed in a grade II listed building, while the apartment's interiors may be a little pared-back for some, the owner's curated artwork brings plenty of interest. And there's no dodgy sofa bed set-ups here – instead, expect two well-proportioned bedrooms as light-filled as the next.

Home truths:
*This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. You’ll check in with a lock box and code. *The apartment is located on the third floor with no lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs. *A cot can be provided for little ones on request. *Free luggage storage is available. *There’s no air con at this home, but fans are provided for the warmer months. *While the kitchen is well-equipped, it's short on prepping space. We think it's better suited to preparing lighter bites than large meals. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
