Laura's apartment is simply fabulous! One of the highlights of our family trip (two adults and a 20-month old daughter) to London was staying in this lovely place. The apartment fits the description accurately. It has two bedrooms, each with very comfortable queen-size beds and their own bathroom (one with an ample shower and the other one with a tub with natural sunlight). The exquisite decor and top-notch amenities (ex. Miele domestic appliances, Le Creuset cookware; washer and dryer) enhance and facilitate your stay. The private roof top terrace, surrounded by nice flower pots, is the perfect spot to start or end a day of walking or working. The terrace is also a great advantage when traveling with small children because it offers a nice place for them to play safely. The living room and dining table get plenty of natural light (a rare find in Europe). The apartment is perfect for a family (two adults and two children - a portable crib was available) or two couples.
Undoubtedly one of the great advantages of this apartment is its location in prime Notting Hill. Located in the same building as Notting hill's trendiest restaurant (Granger and Co -- highly recommended) and just a block away from delicious restaurants and coffee shops (Ottolenghi, Daylesford -- both great for breakfast and mandatory stops for foodies) and beautiful boutiques. Also, famous Portobello market is a smooth 10 min walk away.
Laura is a great host. She would respond quickly, was flexible with check-in time and was waiting for me upon arrival.
If you wish to experience living comfortably like a local in London's trendiest neighborhood and don't mind a bit of noise in the early evening (very manageable and I say it as mother of a 20 month old baby sensitive to noise), this is the place to stay. It will enhance your London experience and make it unforgettable.
