In the heart of Notting Hill, this basement-level apartment is a prime spot to call home. The location is perfect, especially if you're keen to discover vintage shops, local cafes, and the famous Portobello Road. After a busy day of exploring, it's nice to return home to the cosy living area. One of the bedrooms is a tad snug, and the apartment lacks some natural light, but all the essentials are covered. There's even a patio, ideal for an alfresco aperitif. Factor in that the nearest Tube station is moments away, and it's no surprise it gets full marks from us.

Home truths:
*This is a basement-level flat, so you may have to climb some stairs here. It can also be a tad dark.
*One of the double bedrooms is a bit more snug than the others. It has a bed pushed against the wall, so it's only accessible from one side.
*This is a residential area, so hen and stag parties are not permitted.
*There’s a desk in the bedroom if you need to work from home.
*Parking isn’t provided, but a car isn’t needed in London. The nearest Tube station is just minutes away.
*The wi-fi can be temperamental here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
*It's worth noting that the mattresses here are on the firmer side, so not everyone might find them comfortable.
