I spent two months staying here, and it was a quaint, comfortable place, though relatively basic. I've just moved to London UK from Canada and this flat was a perfect place to help me get settled in my new city.
The location is AMAZING! I never felt unsafe at night, lots of pubs and cafes right down the road, and just a stones throw away from Notting Hill. It was really a dream location.
The flat itself was a bit out of date, but it never felt like an inconvenience. The stove and oven is extremely old, and unfortunately the temperatures on the dials were completely rubbed off so I couldn't see what temperature it was set to. Therefore I avoided using it for the most part. The laundry machine was fantastic, as was the fridge, though quite small. The bathroom was also renovated and hot water was never an issue. Overall the flat did it's job well and was quite comfortable.
The only main issue I had was unfortunately with the downstairs neighbour, who was obnoxiously loud with her music throughout most days. She was also quite loud at night, sometimes as late as 4 or 5 in the morning! But that was only the last couple weeks of my stay. Hopefully if you stay here, she's a bit more considerate, or you can chat with her, as it was quite disruptive, but I was leaving the flat soon and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Overall, this was a really great, cozy place to lay your head at night. Perfect for one person, but probably would be fine for two. Thank you Ava and Alia for everything!
