We had a wonderful stay! The flat is just off the main Portobello Rd, so it is quiet but close to lots of shops and cafes. The flat is a nice combination of elegance and comfort. Note that there are decorative elements (e.g., candles with glass covers on the floor) that might not work for young children. We stayed with our 11 and 13 year old children. We felt safe and had plenty of space for the four of us. Ladbroke Grove is the closest underground station but we often walked a touch farther to Notting Hill Gate because there were excellent cafes along the route to grab breakfast before heading out sightseeing. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!
