Both Elgin Crescent and Cambridge Gardens are large houses - 5 floors including lower ground (no lift)- that have been attractively converted into 5 separate apartments. They are furnished with comfortable modern furniture; all vary slightly in size and configuration.

All the flats have high-speed broadband internet access via a wifi access point - bring your own laptop.

Elgin Crescent (ELG) is a road with elegant 19th century terraced houses. Ladbroke Grove tube station (Hammersmith & City Line) is 5 minutes walk and Notting Hill Gate tube station (District, Circle and Central Lines) is 15 minutes. The average size of the apartments is approximately 850 sq ft (80 sq m). Each flat has two twin bedrooms - one set of beds can be zipped together to make a double if required. The sofa in the living area also converts into a bed bringing to 6 the total number of people that can be accommodated. Elgin Crescent Flat D sleeps a possible 7 people as one of the twin bedrooms has a third bed.

Each flat has a living/dining area furnished with sofa, two easy chairs, dining table + 6 chairs and TV (20+ digital channels) The adjoining kitchen area is fully equipped with gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher (except for flat B), washer/dryer, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, iron etc.. The flats each have a modern bathroom with overhead thermostatic showers in the bath (all except for flat B which has no bath but a spacious walk-in shower). Every flat is equipped with a phone with its own private number.

These flats are serviced (cleaned and beds tidied) Mon-Fri. There's a weekly change of linen.

Some 750 yards away, the Cambridge Gardens (CAM) properties are just 2 minutes from Ladbroke Grove tube station (Hammersmith & City Line). The position close to the motorway flyover might be inclined to put some off but the double glazing cuts out 95% of the noise. The apartments, in two neighbouring houses, are smaller with an average size of approximately 650 sq ft (60 sq m). They are decorated and furnished in a similar manner as Elgin Crescent, the two main differences are that where a 5th person can be accommodated it is either on a put-me-up bed or on a sofa-bed, and the kitchen has no dishwasher. These apartments are un-serviced, though if you stay for more than 7 days the linen is changed at the end of a week.

This is a No Smoking property.

Notting Hill is an interesting and vibrant area. The travel bookshop on nearby Blenheim Crescent is the shop where Hugh Grant's character works in the hit film Notting Hill.

Both ELG and CAM are just a few minutes walk from Portobello Road and its famous Saturday market. Close by is an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and cafés. Try 192 in Kensington Park Road - of Bridget Jones's Diary fame or the excellent Italian restaurant Osteria Basilico.

Portobello Market

Please note that we market these properties on behalf of their owner whose procedures and arrangements differ slightly from ours. We normally arrange for an airport pick-up - costs vary, typically £40-£65 depending on which airport and how many people - and the driver has the keys and lets you in (rather than being met by a company rep). Each apartment has a set of notes covering the neighbourhood shops, local transport, pubs, restaurants and cafés. There is no "starter pack" of breakfast goodies - however there are "24/7" shops very close by. You do still have access to the Coach House London Vacation Rentals telephone help line to provide you with answers to questions about London - what to do and see, should you need advice.
