The Marais

Stay in the heart of Portobello Road, surrounded by shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, and more. Notting Hill is a beautiful corner of London to explore, and the nearest Underground station is just a ten-minute walk away from which you can hop around the rest of the city with ease. If you’re looking to be in the mix, the location is perfect – especially on weekends when Portobello Market takes over the area. It does get busy and noisy, so keep that in mind when planning your trip. But you can escape the hustle and bustle in the quiet courtyard – a rare treat for London. There’s no TV here, but you can take advantage of your host’s impressive record collection and player.

Home truths:
*This home is on Portobello Road, which gets very busy on weekends with the Portobello Market. You're likely to hear noise from the market, and stalls will be in front of the home. Consider this when planning your stay, as you'll have to walk through the market with luggage. Being such a busy area, *There is a street-level entrance door, then you'll have to climb stairs to reach the front door. There are also a couple steps to the bedrooms. *Although the second bedroom can sleep two people, it's only suitable for one person. *Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
