Sophie is a kind and generous host; she welcomed us with a great smile, and thought of so many little touches that made our stay really wonderful- things we would never have thought to ask for. The apartment is clean, tastefully decorated and very comfortable, and it had everything we needed and more. Thé neighboehood is awesome, lively without being noisy, near portobello market in Notting Hill; lots of great restaurants and close to transportation. I recommend staying their without reservation.
