My friend and I came to stay last minute - we booked on the day - and James made sure I could get the keys and begin my stay as soon as I needed to.

His house is beautiful. Perfect space, two double bedrooms with contemporary shared bathroom. The lounge, sep dining area and kitchen were fantastic. Everything tastefully decorated and fabulously put together! You won't find a better host than James - the place was clean, tidy and well appointed. There's also a south facing terrace, just bliss. James made the effort to meet us to say hello and recommend his favourite places locally. Also left flowers, a nice touch.

Staying just off Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill was an unexpected treat; great restaurants and shopping, and a gorgeous leafy part of London. A rare treat. We will return!

No hesitation in recommending to anyone. And if you travel to London by car, there is a spot in front of the house.
