Chic 1st floor Portobello Balcony apartment

A beautifully light and airy apartment with high ceilings on the first floor of one of the detached period houses in the elegant tree lined Bassett Road, the premier address in Ladbroke Grove/Portobello, London
If your dates appear unavailable this is probably a result of the 90 day annual limit enforced by AirBnB please contact me as I may nonetheless be able to accommodate you

Two minutes walk from Ladbroke Grove station [ Circle line and Hammersmith & City line ] it is a tranquil place to stay near the hubbub of the Portobello Road and Notting Hill area with your choice of bohemian and culturally diverse restaurants and bars. You can run the full gamut from charming local cafes and street food market in Golborne Road, start with the Golborne Deli for breakfast / brunch, mosey for lunch in the Portobello Garden Cafe and then move on to the Electric, through Lisa’s with jazz guitar on Thursday evenings and finally Richard Caring’s Pizza East.
Stroll through the Portobello Antique market on Saturday and explore the charms of Notting Hill and West London.

The apartment has wall to wall Nantucket cupboards fitted. With a little agility required to negotiate the windowsill – as seen in the photographs – you can enjoy a coffee on the diminutive balcony in the sunshine before venturing out to explore the area.
The kitchen has a fridge with separate freezer, washer/dryer, oven hob and extractor, microwave, electric smoothie maker and electric kettle.

Heating is controlled by a NEST thermostat.

When rented for more than 10 days – my cleaner will attend the property for approx. 2 hours per week after the first week at an additional cost of £30.

Super fast 60 MB Fibre optic broadband with unlimited download and a 42 inch Plasma TV with terrestrial channels and HDMI cable.

The apartment is also available for a long let of 3 months or more at a lower rate.
Shorter stays may be accommodated however at a higher charge. Please message me.

Please note the bed is a comfortable UK Double – 140cm wide – it is not Kingsize.

Bassett Road and the building are a quiet oasis in a vibrant district – the apartment does not suit party animals 🙂

When I am in the UK I look forward to greeting guests and imparting local knowledge.
There is a Welcome Book with suggestions and all details with regard to transport and services – all of which are within two minutes walk of the apartment and give access to all parts of London.
Once the reservation is made I will send a digital copy it gives advice with regard to airport taxis etc

Please note – There is a keysafe so that you can checkin at the time of your arrival post 2pm unless earlier by prior arrangement.
Please ask when requesting a reservation.

Ladbroke Grove has a thriving local community – there are many small independent shops and amazingly diverse restaurants.
With the Portobello and Golborne Road markets the area has a bohemian and friendly atmosphere where you can browse the antique shops, stop for coffee in an endless number of small cafes or enjoy Tapas at the local Spanish restaurant.

I recommend inexpensive taxi companies from both Heathrow and Gatwick – ensuring a stress free arrival 🙂

I would suggest you acquire a local SIM card – I recommend GiffGaff.
You can then download CityMapper for Public Transport and the Taxi Apps – UBER, GreenTomato & Hailo

When the apartment is booked I occasionally but not always can host guests in an en suite double room in a spacious house conveniently situated next to Westfield and 2 mins walk from the Central Line/Overground/Circle
