Colourful house 3 Bed Apt – Notting Hill
First Impressions
Walking up to Colourful house 3 Bed Apt – Notting Hill on Talbot Road, I immediately got why they chose that name. The Victorian terrace house actually lives up to its colorful promise — there’s something cheerfully vibrant about the whole setup that makes you smile before you even step inside. It’s one of those places where you can tell the owners put thought into making it feel welcoming rather than just functional.
Location & Neighborhood
Honestly, the location in London is pretty brilliant. You’re right in the heart of Notting Hill, which means Portobello Road market is basically on your doorstep — perfect for Saturday morning browsing with a coffee in hand. The Tube stations at Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park are both within easy walking distance, so getting around the city is straightforward. What I really appreciated was how residential the street feels despite being so close to all the tourist spots.
The Space
This four-star apartment genuinely feels like staying in someone’s thoughtfully decorated home rather than a rental property. The three bedrooms are well-proportioned for London standards, and each has its own personality — I mean, they’ve clearly put effort into making each space distinct. The kitchen is probably the real winner here; it’s actually equipped for proper cooking, not just reheating takeaway, which is rarer than you’d think in London short-term rentals.
Practical Comforts
You know what surprised me most? The little details that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. There are proper hangers in the wardrobes, decent lighting for reading, and the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the whole place. The main living area has this relaxed, lived-in quality that makes it easy to spread out and actually use the space — whether you’re planning your day or just decompressing after walking around London for hours.
Why Guests Love It
I think what sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both distinctly London and genuinely homey at the same time. You get the full Notting Hill experience — the colorful houses, the market buzz, the neighborhood pubs — but you also get a proper base where you can cook breakfast, do laundry, and have space to breathe. It’s particularly good if you’re traveling with friends or family, since there’s enough room for everyone to have their own space when needed. The 8.5 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed there; it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in London, but it delivers exactly what it promises with a bit of extra charm thrown in.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
