Bea’s place in Notting Hill is wonderfully located for exploring London, from access to Hyde Park, tube and of course NH itself (check out the Lucerne Mews opposite). Do take the food recommendations from Bea, as they are pretty good. Lovely apartment, you know about the stairs, but part of the charm of London apartment life. Would recommend for a family of 5 (if you do not have significant mobility issues or prams).
