Our family of four loved this colorful row house located close to Portobello Road. It fits the bill for pretending you live in the neighborhood—on a quiet little side street, welcoming garden entrance and lovely patio in the back, complete with resident wood doves cooing quietly in the background.
The house is very comfortable beds, and beautiful fixtures and artwork. Be sure to read all the house manual details—I also appreciated the hints posted in the house about the laundry, recycling and where to leave the keys after our visit. Our kids liked the couch and lounged there. It was a lovely quiet place to return to after our adventures out, or spend a lazy morning.
Friendly coffee houses are 5 minutes away by foot and if you’re a walker, you can head in many directions. We typically headed down Portobello Road. A transit strike during our visit kept us above ground, so I can’t attest to the house’s proximity to tube stations. Ubers and taxis were easy to come by.
