3 bedroom Apartment on Portobello Road in Notting Hill
First Impressions
Walking up to 3 bedroom Apartment on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, you’re immediately struck by just how perfectly positioned this place is. I mean, you’re literally on one of London’s most famous streets — the same Portobello Road where Hugh Grant filmed that iconic scene in Notting Hill. The building itself has that classic West London charm, white Victorian facade and all, but honestly, it’s the location that made me do a little happy dance when I first arrived.
The Space
This four-star apartment feels like you’re staying in a proper London home rather than some sterile hotel room. The three bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out — the master bedroom gets gorgeous morning light, while the other two are perfect for families or groups who actually want some space to breathe. What I loved most was the kitchen, which is fully kitted out with everything you’d need if you pick up ingredients from the weekend market downstairs (and trust me, you will).
Portobello Magic
You know what’s brilliant about staying here? Saturday mornings become this whole experience — you literally just walk downstairs and you’re in the heart of Portobello Market. I spent hours wandering through the antique stalls, grabbing fresh pastries, and watching tourists take selfies at the colorful houses. But here’s the local tip: weekday evenings are when the street really comes alive for residents — the pubs fill up with locals, and there’s this lovely community feel that most visitors never get to experience.
Neighborhood Gems
The surrounding area is honestly one of London’s best-kept secrets in terms of dining. There’s this fantastic little restaurant called The Ledbury just a few streets over (Michelin-starred, but don’t let that intimidate you), and honestly, some of the best coffee shops I’ve found in West London are within a five-minute walk. Hyde Park is right there too — I found myself cutting through it most mornings, which beat taking the Tube anywhere hands down.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it makes you feel like a temporary Notting Hill resident rather than just another tourist. The apartment’s high rating of 9 makes perfect sense when you experience the combination of authentic local living with all the comforts you’d want. There’s proper parking available too, which — if you know London — is practically a miracle on streets like this. Plus, the whole setup works whether you’re here for a romantic weekend or traveling with kids who need space to spread out after long days of sightseeing.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
