About the Notting Hill Location:
Nestled in the heart of West London, Notting Hill is one of the capital’s most charming and sought-after neighborhoods. Known for its pastel-colored townhouses, the world-famous Portobello Road Market, and a lively, artistic vibe, this area offers a unique blend of culture, history, and elegance.
You’ll find independent boutiques, art galleries, street markets, and high-end restaurants scattered throughout the area. Whether you're dining at a Michelin-starred eatery, enjoying a pint in a cozy pub, or shopping for antiques and vintage treasures, there's something to discover around every corner. Notting Hill is also a short stroll from Hyde Park, one of London’s royal parks, stretching from Kensington Palace all the way to Buckingham Palace. The nearby Little Venice neighborhood offers scenic canals perfect for a relaxed afternoon walk. With easy access to the London Underground via Westbourne Park and Ladbroke Grove stations (Circle & Hammersmith & City Lines), you'll have a smooth connection to the entire city. Major attractions such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the West End are just a few stops away, and you're also close to Harrods, Oxford Street, and other luxury shopping destinations. Thanks to strong transport links, including direct connections to Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton airports, Notting Hill serves as a perfect home base for both short visits and longer stays in London.

such a wonderful stay!

The location was perfect, with loads of great spots nearby for food, shopping, and getting around. The flat was exactly what I needed – super cozy, clean, and had everything I could want.

The property is lovely in its decoration, super cute. Be aware that there are 4 flights of stairs - the bedroom being on top. Also be aware that the host does not live in country and is not easy to get in touch with AND that the property is managed by a 3rd party so VRBO cannot help you until the host responds - IF he responds. Check in was crap: I'd been in asking about an early check in from the first moment of booking bc I was to be traveling with my elderly mother and daughter. I was strung led along by "depends on the cleaners" - but then sent a message for a 20%discount to book an extra "early check in day" as I was boarding my flight. Which would have been fine but they didn't get back to me about booking it until after we were already in the apartment. To get the keys you have to give a code to the gentlemen at the corner store. I arrived with my daughter and all of our bags to find out the early check in wasn't possible because of "the cleaners weren't ready" and had to wait hours in the neighborhood. If the apartment wasn't ready why were they offering me to pay for the day before? Our last evening, after a long day we found ourselves locked out and the gentlemen at the corner store couldn't help us without a code from the host WHO NEVER ANSWERED. VRBO couldn't get in touch with the 3 numbers they had, I couldn't get in touch calling and messaging. It was awful. We had to leave @3am for a flight and didn't get in until nearly 11pm.

Quiet Quirky Refuge in Notting Hill

Fantastic location just off the main drag enough in Notting Hill to be quiet enough for morning birdsong but close enough we were comfortable going to and from the Portobello road excitement several times a day and taking breaks to nap and cool down from the heatwave. (Really appreciated the air flow and all the fans!) Gorgeous kitchen and living area, phenomenal art piece in the living room along with books galore that both myself and our 16yr old greatly enjoyed. Perfect for a quiet stay in a wonderful part of town. Be sure to check out the local restaurants - we had excellent adventures at several, all less than 2-4 min walking distance. For longer adventures we walked to Holland Park and through Hyde easily.
Stunning kitchen
Fantastic living space for relaxing
Walking up to house
