Apart from Hyde Parking being right on the doorstep, the Natural History Museum, V&A and the antique markets and bookshops of Notting Hill are all a short stroll away from this apartment. Stepping inside, you can tell the owner is an artist with unique paintings and coffee table books adorning the otherwise minimal living room. The galley kitchen and second bedroom are a little on the small side, but there’s everything you need for self-catering and a peaceful night’s sleep. On the second floor of a typically London-esque Victorian terrace, you’ll need to be comfortable climbing a lot of stairs to reach the entrance.

Home truths:
*Bedroom 2 has a small double bed pushed against the wall.
*On the second floor of a Victorian building, there are quite a few stairs to the entrance of this home. It would not suit those with limited mobility.
*Your host can provide a cot for infants, just ask.
*While there is no private parking with this home, there is a paid parking garage and paid on-street parking nearby. However, with so much on your doorstep and public transport links in the area, having a car is not necessary.
