I booked very last minute, and James couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. Super friendly and conversant in a panoply of areas, while still allowing guests their time and privacy, James strikes that important balance required to be a great host. It was also fantastic to find out his family is also from Hawai'i (where I grew up). It's been nearly 10 years since I moved from London, so it was amazing to be able to visit and stay a 7-minute walk from my old flat. Right in the heart of Notting Hill, James's house is situated amongst great shops and restaurants. As for the accommodation, the room and bathroom were very clean. There was only one hiccup and when I brought it to James's attention, he was incredibly gracious! Oh, and the upper terrace is nice to enjoy tea on in the morning. I would stay here again. Thank you, James!
