All you need for a comfortable stay in London can be found in this penthouse apartment. It's not the biggest, but the open-plan living space is filled with light, the kitchen is well-stocked to rustle up meals, and the balcony off the bedroom is ideal for a coffee in the sunshine. Just note it's on the third floor and lacks a lift. Location-wise, you're just a short walk from the shops and eateries on Harrow Road. Twenty minutes on foot is the vibrant Portobello Road in Notting Hill. With bus stops and Underground stations nearby, you're never too far from the buzz of central London.
