Charming Notting Hill 2BR with magical garden - perfect for 2 couples or family

The Apartment
A lovely, light and airy apartment with two double bedrooms in a beautiful Victorian terraced house in the heart of beautiful Notting Hill. Recently decorated and with access to magical private gardens so you can live out your Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts fantasy without having to climb over the fence! On a quiet street but very near hustle and bustle of Portobello Road. Live the film!

The apartment sleeps four comfortably in two equal sized double bedrooms with queen beds. Perfect for two couples or a family with kids (of any age!).

Neighbourhood overview
For those who have seen the film Notting Hill, they won't need explaining what makes it a picture postcard perfect example of London at its best. Tree lines streets, old Victorian gas lamps, magical communal gardens between each block, charming pubs, trendy restaurants and bars, Portobello with its world famous antique shops plus Westbourne Grove with its designer boutiques. I could go on for ever...

Getting around
And also really convenient for central London. A 10 minutes walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, a 15 minutes walk to High Street Kensington and its shopping. A 20 minutes walk to Westfield and its huge shopping centre. And a 25 minute bus ride (or 15 minute subway/tube) to Marble Arch and Oxford street.

Guest interaction
I live in a different house so apart from giving keys and answering any questions you will have the house to yourself. But I am always on email or phone should you need anything - such as a recommendation for dinner or even a good play to see in the West End!

Guest access
My cleaner Lilly will meet you at check-in, having prepared the apartment with fresh linen and towels.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this apartment's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Portobello Road Market. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

We had an excellent experience at Tass's place. Though we only stayed two nights, Tass treated us like long-term guests and made the whole experience feel painless. The place itself is very bright and spacious with beautiful Notting Hill views. Great to have laundry and a functioning kitchen to feel at home during your trip, and how nice to have your very own garden! And the location – wow! I couldn't imagine a better one for a rental in London, down a picturesque street steps from Portobello Road and multiple tube stops, plenty of restaurants, etc. If I had to give one piece of constructive feedback I'd say the mattresses could use an update, though they weren't uncomfortable. To be fair, few of the places we stayed in the UK had super comfortable bedding and even in the States we often find it hard to come by comfy beds in vrbos.We stayed at a few different places in and around London on this UK trip and this was a favorite (and I think my 5 year-old daughter and wife would agree). Heartily recommend and thanks again to Tass for making us feel so welcome!

Such a great flat! Excellent location!! Would absolutely stay here again. Check in was easy, place was clean. Owner was friendly and easy to work with and provided ideas for restaurants and transportation that were very helpful. And it was great to be able to do a load of laundry while there! Only cons being it could use a little updating and TLC. It is an old building with old plumbing, small bathroom, no microwave, and the bed seems to swallow you in the center. But worth the small inconveniences to stay in such a great spot!

Summertime in London

We absolutely loved our stay here and I can't say enough about how it made our first trip to London so enjoyable. Working with Tass was a pleasure as he was super helpful with information about the apt and the area with clear instructions concerning check-in and checkout ... no issues at all. Tass was remote in NYC, so a gentlemen named Solomon let us in when we got there and helped us get adjusted. Super nice guy. The Notting Hill area is just splendid being convenient to great shops, fantastic restaurants, grocery stores and pubs just minutes away. The Notting Hill Gate Tube station is only 15min walk with bus stops right across the street. This made it super easy to get around London. Loved that both the Tube and Bus are tap to pay. This wonderful apt was such a joy to come back to after a long day around the city or after long day out of the city … which we took to Bath. Look forward to coming back in the future

Top marks flat in a top marks neighborhood!

The flat is incredibly pleasant, and its prime location, near all the good things in Notting Hill, simply cannot be beat! Including access to the absolutely stunning garden... And Tass (the host) was eager & responsive to the few typical wrinkles that came up. My wife, 3 young kids & I stayed for a week, and when we go back to NH again, I can't imagine staying anywhere else!

Good on a budget!

The Booking and check in were fine. And we chose this location because of the reviews, which were great! We decided not to stay here - when we arrived we made other plans and left. This just wasn’t to our standards. But that is my error, the price was very affordable which matches the establishment. For someone on a budget this is fine, my daughter had chose for us on a budget. I am little bit older and like my amenities!! So not the fault of the VRBO, just the fault of me not checking. It’s a fine place for the price!

Much to see and do in the Portobello Road area and this flat is right around the corner. It is up 3 flights of stairs if that matters to you. Kitchen is well equipped and everything you need for your stay is provided. Great communication and house manager met us for check in.

Wonderful Stay!

This brightly lighted flat has nearby grocery stores, a book store, a butcher, bakeries, liquor stores, flower stand, and restaurants-- everything one could need. The flat was great. Bedding was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the lounge spacious. We stayed for 5 1/2 weeks and had a grand time. We look forward to returning. Our host Tass was friendly, attentive and responsive.

Lovely flat, Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay with our 10 year old at the flat in November. It had pretty much everything we needed to be comfortable and the location could not be more perfect. The beds were great and the flat was very cozy - I was worried about it being chilly in November but it was warm. It was super easy to get to the Tube and bus lines and was very close to shops and restaurants. Would recommend.

Perfect spot to see London!

Our family had a wonderful time visiting London while staying in Tass' flat in Notting Hill. The location of his place couldn't be more ideal. The flat is on the 3rd floor (no lift!) and the living room overlooks a lovely garden. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is modern. The kitchen has pretty much everything you'll need to make meal at home, and there is a dishwasher and laundry machine. The neighborhood is absolutely adorable; the little shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs are all around you when you step out the door. It is safe, with lots of families walking children to school in the mornings, yet it is vibrant with plenty to do. It is a perfect location to see all the historical spots in London, and is walkable to Kensington Palace and High Street shopping. Tass' and Betty are communicative and very friendly. We highly recommend!

Perfect Location

Great location. Beds were comfortable. There were a few things that I would suggest to make things perfect. There wasn’t a mirror in one of the bedrooms and there were a few repairs that needed to be addressed. These were pointed out and I’m sure will be taken care of. Nothing major enough to deter another stay at the property. Don’t miss spending time in the garden. It is beyond beautiful. The host was amazing with communication.
