The Lempicka

To paraphrase Phil and Kirsty, the UK's choosiest home hunters, it's all about location. You want a London bolthole with the convenience of being close to a mainline Tube station, but you can't stand the usual accompaniment of traffic noise? Well, this home has got you covered. No more than a two-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate and located on a quiet residential street – this ground-floor flat ticks all the boxes. While the entrance is relatively unassuming, everything is sweetness and light once you're through the front door. The interior is a triumph of style from top to bottom, and there are some charming touches, such as the House of Hackney curtains in the living area and art deco furnishings. You also have the bonus of some outdoor space, a patio outside of the master bedroom. A quick reality check – it is connected to the neighbour's patio, so it's only partially private, but it's still a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Home truths:
*Being on the basement, it has window bars that obstruct the view, and the sound of the Underground can occasionally be heard
*The patio is accessed via the master bedroom and is connected to the neighbour's patio, so it's only partially private
*Early check-in can be arranged free of charge if there are no guests checking out on the day of your arrival
*If you are under 24, live in London and are part of a group, contact the host before placing a booking
*There is smart TV and cable channels but there's no live TV
*The facade and building's communal areas are in need of renovation
