An off-street landscaped garden path leads to the private entrance of this beautifully decorated loft home in Notting Hill. Work remotely with three dedicated office/study areas and high-speed fibre optic wifi (60 mbps).
A gated open plan loft-style house with south-facing park views affords seclusion and quiet, despite being central to the centre of London. Blending classic furnishings and contemporary decor throughout, the open-plan ground-floor space is filled with sunlight and brims with books and artwork. The whole family can spend time here, whether it's working from home, studying, cooking or relaxing and streaming after a long day.
Privacy, neighbor-free, contact-less check-in, longer stay discount.
Within 10 minutes walking distance to the world-famous Portobello Market and its less-hyped, more chilled out sibling, Golbourne Road.
This home is equally suitable for one family or multi-generational stays.

great home for a family gathering
My family all converged on London form various points in the globe, to celebrate a special event. The home was perfect for this purpose, everyone had room to spread out and have their own space. The home is very well appointed in every area, great Location, very quiet and private. The home is full of interesting Art and books and has a wonderful atmosphere, which is very welcoming. Marina went above and beyond as a host.

Cozy and Elegant
We wanted to experience London like locals and this was the perfect location to call home. The house is well appointed and maintained and accommodated our family perfectly. I wish the main floor had a restroom but otherwise we were all comfortable and had our space. Marina was very communicative and always available if we had any questions. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with convenient location
Just wrapped up a delightful stay in this well-appointed home. Every amenity is provided, from high quality linens to top of the line appliances. Everything you will need can be found. The house has a well-curated, upscale bohemian aesthetic with an enviable collection of art books for perusing. This is clearly the home of someone with an eye for design — we appreciated the clever and beautiful objets to be found throughout. Easy communication with owner. The location is a 10 minute walk to lively walking/shopping area of Portobello Road. The neighborhood felt very safe and we allowed our teenage girls to jog unchaperoned in a nearby park. Very friendly neighborhood businesses and we felt very welcomed. Close to bus and tube station. Home opens in back onto an open community park and has great light throughout. Couldn’t be happier with rental and wish we could return. This is a true gem.

Great Apartment in a very Interesting part of London
For our family trip to London this year we were interested to stay in a new part of London that we hadn’t had a lot of exposure to. Marina’s loft in the Nottingham shill area close to Portobello road was fantastic! Lots to see and experience around Portobello road and every restaurant we visited was wonderful. Great Food! The loft itself is very spacious and clean as described plus very interestingly contented with artwork and literature..a very interesting place. In the end we found Ladbroke Grove tube less convenient than booking a taxi online that came right to the door (Addison lee was fantastic)..all in all a great experience made possible by a great apartment in a nice quiet area..i would recommend it!

This home is exactly as portrayed in photos and description. Beautiful and FULLY appointed.
Marina, the homeowner, was very responsive from my first inquiry until our departure. She takes great pride in her home and the responsibility of renting her home. You will have everything you need in this home. We were a family of five - 2 adults and 3 older teens. Marina has many lovely furnishings that she is rightly particular about. There are many signs around the house about what to touch and what not to touch. Some may find this off-puttting. I would say that this is not a home to rent if you have young children. The location of this home is not central to the sites most go to London to see. We took the tube (10 minute walk to station) and made several transfers to get to most sites. Not a problem with our family as we are from a big city and use public transportation. If you are not comfortable with public transportation or traveling with young children or someone with mobility issues, and visiting London for the sites, this location might not be ideal unless you are okay to spend money on Uber or taxi’s. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our time in Marina’s home and in London.

Wonderful London Stay in this Fantastic Loft House
Great space. Perfect for families. We are a family of 5 and the size was perfect. Clean, stylish, comfortable, much attention to detail - everything a family could need and more. Great location, walking distance to many shops, markets and restaurants in the Portobello area. Easy transportation to sites in London proper. We would highly recommend this Loft.

Loved Staying at This Beautiful Flat
Our family of four had a great stay at Marina's Notting Hill flat. We loved the location and the park next door was great for our two kids, who loved spending time there at the end of each day. The flat is beautiful, super clean, light and bright and homey. It is well equipped with everything needed and Marina was very helpful, responsive and accommodating in helping to ensure a great stay. Would love to stay here again someday the next time we visit London. Highly recommend!

Business travel done right!
We booked this home as a place where my colleagues and I could have a comfortable stay during our brief work trip to London - it was definitely the right choice! The home was spacious and suited our needs just right. Marina was attentive, responded very quickly to any questions and was proactive in planning the meet up for the hand-off of the keys. Barbara was over and hour late but the flight was delayed so it caused some issues getting access to the house. The area the home was in was very safe and quiet.

Successful Christmas and New Year Family Gathering in London
We came to London to spend Christmas with our daughter and her husband, and attend their wedding, and to christen our granddaughter, their firstborn - so it was a an action packed 2 weeks. Myself, my husband, our son and further son and wife all stayed at Sunswept Loft house. The home was a lovely backdrop to all our family gatherings, Christmas day and lunch replete with tree and ornaments (we had originally intended to stay in their new home close by, but it was delayed with building works). The house is very private and quiet, it felt like being in the country backing up onto the park outside, with open views and wonderful natural winter light streaming in through the windows. The bedrooms were cosy, with top quality linen and thick white towels and comfortable beds to ensure a good nights sleep. The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked for 12 for Christmas lunch. The two seating areas provided us with lots of space to spread out, with 12 in the house on Christmas day, there was plenty of room in the large open plan downstairs. Our host was very attentive and ensured we had all that we needed. The home is spotless and very well cared for. It is an elegant home and thus treated with care as the furniture and furnishing are all of a high standard. Notting Hill, which we knew well, is very vibrant and full of wonderful places to eat out and shop. A great experience.

Charming loft as photos and great to be next to a park
Marina's home is lovely! We had a nice week in london with our 2 children! The kitchen especially is so well equipped.
The neighbourhood is very charming and just situated right next not even a few minutes walk to the Kensington memorial park.
There are also some feedbacks regarding this lovely home:
- the home is very tastefully decorated as it is the owners' primary home. There are many vintage and expensive furnitures and sensitive material use around the house in different areas and we have to constantly remind our young children to stay away.
- Although is all friendly reminder notes around the house but at the same time, we feel like we have to take care of the house rather than to enjoy the house we rent.
- the bedrooms are all upstairs and the roof ceiling is angle and very low, although the bedrooms are very nice and clean, is not too comfortable to bend down the head to go into bed. It could get very hot in the summer under the low ceiling, even with fan on.
- The location of the home from nearest tube station is about 15 mins walk and not major tube line! Therefore the transportation access is not as convenient if one likes to explore other areas during the day (but there is direct parking and bus route right Infront of the home)
Marina is a very lovely lady and very helpful! The home is spotless cleaned and she made great attention to details! But If to rent out to family, may be not too suitable for young kids below 8 years old as we always have to keep an eye on them not to touch or be in certain areas. This is a vacation home and would be nice to be more carefree and relax.

Beautiful Home
139 is a very unique place. It has all the benefits of a London house but with a lovely country feel at the same time. It overlooks a pretty park and is extremely private. Marina has fitted out her place with beautiful and expensive furniture and appliances and is extremely meticulous about her home, leaving lots of advice and instruction. She is always on hand if you have any queries about the house which is very useful and is often on hand to pop over should needs be. Parking is great and access to the house is easy.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION
This property is a museum, not a home. There is a long and laborious owner's manual, detailing all manner of behavior. For example, "Heels are not allowed" to be worn within the property. In addition, there are written notes in plexiglass throughout the household demanding further behavior. For example, "Use the black washcloths to wash your face". Plus, there are labels all about the house, with more instructions as what to do and what not to do.
The owner texted daily and on a repeated basis, interfering with our ability to enjoy our vacation. I had to demand she stop texting. I received four texts alone on the simple matter of the trash, which I had already read about in the manual. The female owner made two unexpected visits to the property and once knocked on the door, disturbing my sleep. The male owner of the property dropped by unannounced and twice spied through the kitchen window.
Currently, we are in a contract dispute with the owners regarding the full return of our deposit. One of the many issues is that we are being billed a small fortune to recover one small seating pad of a dining room chair. It is our fault that it was stained and my son should not have tried to clean it himself, but the price is ridiculous. Plus, we were reprimanded for eating at the dining room table and using the dining room chairs without first putting "tea towels" down to protect them. We are also being billed for a pre-existing stain on a sofa.
The photos of the downstairs are accurate. The photos of the upstairs are shot at an angle that does not properly portray the low-slanted ceilings. I hit my head at least twice per day and I am only 5'2". You virtually have to duck down to get dressed.
In addition, though the VRBO listing states that the owner accepts credit cards and the listing includes the credit card icons, when I paid the first deposit with the credit card, the owner cancelled the payment and demanded a cash wire transfer. Furthermore, upon exiting the property, the owner requested that the non-disputed damages be paid in cash, even though she held our deposit in her possession.
The property is conveniently located. There is easy and accessible public transportation. The property is quiet. The property is beautifully appointed.
I have successfully used VRBO all across the world and this was the worst experience I have ever had. You could not pay me to stay there, again.
