The perfect location for me and my 10 year old daughter on our weekend trip to London. Sweet, cosy, clean and with a bialetti espresso pot waiting on the cooking stove (how did Joanna know this is my primary need when I travel?) on the way to the sweet and rustique little backyard - this basement flat had it all.
When we arrived, we found bread, fruit, milk and cheese in the fridge, plus a package og the classic Shortbread cookies waiting for us.
As the true artist this hostess is, Joanna had even made a super cutewelcoming piece on the blackboard in the hall.
Before our arrival I was a bit worried the very close to Portobello Street-location would be to busy for my little girl, but it turned out to be the best possible spot, with the bus nr 7 outside our door, taking us everywhere we wanted to go (Paddington and Oxford Street). We chose one bedroom each, but both ended up sleeping in the room facing the backyard, as it was totally sound proof.
Joanna responded very fast, helpful and politely on every question I asked her, and seemed like the perfect hostess. We would love to stay here again!
Sincerely, Maria
