A true gem in Notting Hill this flat is incredibly spacious, luxurious and in the perfect location just off Portobello Road. Could not think of a single thing that would have improved our stay - we were here for a month and loved every aspect of the flat, Simon was one message away to help with anything we needed, and really enjoyed just living like a local in this Notting Hill gem.

Comfortable bedding and furniture, close to pubs and grocery stores, close to restaurants and a Tube Station...what more could you want? Having a multitude of channels on the TV for those few rainy days you might encounter is an added bonus. Simon is a delight to work with and very prompt with communication. We enjoyed our short break of 5 nights!

Great location for London visit

My husband and I spent a week in Simon’s flat. This is a perfect location for a London visit! Lot’s of great restaurants within walking distance, as are several grocery stores and pharmacies. The Portabello Market is just up the road. It is also an easy walk to the underground and bus stops. Simon was very responsive, and quickly sorted out the few problems we had.

Thank you so much, we will be back! The position of this spacious and light apartment is perfect - so quiet in a beautiful building / leafy road and yet literally round the corner from the buzz and delights of Notting Hill, and up to Westbourne Grove. Brilliant area to be in, easy tube etc, and so much to see. For us, due to convalescence, it gave us the perfect balance.

Four weeks in London

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in London enhanced by excellent accommodation. The location could not be better having easy access to buses and the tube. Grocery shopping was easy with Tesco, Waitrose and M & S being close. The apartment was comfortable and all on one level. A good shower and cooking was easy. Most importantly it was very quiet. Not once were we disturbed by traffic or neighbour noise.

The flat is exactly as advertised and the location is extremely convenient. A few minutes walk to the tube and bus routes, groceries and restaurants. It’s hard to believe you’re so close everything London has to offer when all you can hear in bed is birdsong. Communication with Simon was excellent, and he answered all my questions promptly (Even the dumb ones)

Great Flat, Ideal Location

We stayed at this flat for 8 nights in September and were very happy with our choice. The flat is exactly as described and met all our needs. It was nice to have laundry facilities and a large living room. Eating out is great, but having some meals "at "at home" made our stay in London more relaxing. The neighbourhood is very pretty, there are lots of pubs and restaurants closeby and the Tube is just a short walk. We didn't meet our host, but exchanged messages during our visit. If we get back to London, we'll be looking to stay again.

Lovely flat in the perfect location

This flat has it all: loads of space, a full kitchen, a shower with water pressure (!), shelves full of enticing books, and a fabulous location. It's walking distance to a well-connected tube station, Portobello Road's market and shops, fantastic restaurants and pubs, Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park, Holland Park, and more. The owner is a very proactive and prompt communicator, providing information about the flat before arrival and checking in periodically throughout the stay to make sure all was well. We didn't want to leave!

Perfect stay

Simon is the perfect host. As an example, when the clothes dryer stopped working, he replaced it . The apartment is quiet and for those who wish to cook their own meals, 5 minute's walk from Waitrose, Tesco& M&S food shop on Notting Hill Gate. Convenient to Notting Hill Gate tube station and Hyde Park. Spacious, comfortable and highly recommended for couples. Washer and dryer work well, and Simon supplied us with fresh linen and towels halfway through our 2 week stay. Can not say enough good things about the experience Definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by simon cole

Host profile image
A resident of Notting Hill for some 30 years, I know the area well and this apartment was at one time my home. I selected it for the location and then completely re-furbished it, fitting out in contemporary style with wooden flooring throughout and fixtures to a high standard.

What makes this property unique

The property has a unique large bathroom with both tub and walk-in shower room. Part of the bathroom has a large glass conservatory-style ceiling which, amazingly for the location, is completely private and not overlooked.
