This tasteful, compact flat on the sleepy fringes of Notting Hill is perfect for couples looking for a cosy city escape. It boasts a stone-walled balcony for post-sightseeing sundowners, and a supremely comfortable L-shaped sofa to rest weary legs. There’s also Beatles memorabilia to inspect and a warm, slate-tiled kitchen for home-cooked dinners for when you fancy an evening in. After planning your itinerary in front of the huge sash windows, head out into your neighbourhood. Your refined base is a two-minute walk from Ladbroke Grove's tube station, placing you in zone one in three stops or five minutes. A five-minute stroll will see you arrive at the colourful Portobello Road, where you’ll find its fabled antiques market, trendy cafes and chic restaurants.
