What a fabulous location! James' tall narrow house spills out onto Portobello road where one of the worlds most famous antiques markets is literally on the doorstep. You will probably have to apologize to the costume jewelry lady as you exit on Saturday because she sets up on the doorstep! James' house feels like you live on the set of "Notting Hill" in Hugh Grant's character's house. Same steep stairs, piles of interesting books, and charming chaos. The room we stayed in was cozy and charming with a double bed, antiques, a wardrobe and interesting prints on the walls. Good books throughout. Geraniums on the window sill. You could hear the interesting mix of neighbors in their domestic conversations...Chinese, and other languages, all mixed with English. James is exceedingly helpful, likeable and erudite with tips for the neighborhood restaurants and bakeries.
