Description Black Ink: London

A private roof terrace is a rare find in London, but this luxurious apartment offers exactly that. The views from up here span West London's rooftops – we can't think of a better spot to savour a glass of wine in the summer sunshine. That said, the interior is just as luxurious. Dark walls and high-end finishes create a chic, relaxing space. Granted, it's on the third floor, so expect a few flights of stairs here (though, in our opinion, it's definitely worth the climb). Location-wise, Holland Park is minutes away, while Notting Hill's quirky shops and trendy restaurants are walkable in ten. Heading to central London? Two nearby Tube stations make exploring the capital a breeze.

Home truths:
*The fifth guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. It won't be set up for groups of four or fewer, so please let your host know in advance if you'd like to use it.
*This home is on the third floor with no lift. You should be prepared to climb a wide staircase to reach the front door – it's about four flights of stairs.
*The communal entryway is a bit dark.
*Although there isn’t a desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*No parking is provided, but you won't need a car in this location. Both Kensington (Olympia) and Shepherd's Bush stations are within walking distance.
