This studio is in a great location just off Portobello Road. Near two tube stops and numerous restaurants, bus lines, grocery store, cafes.. The studio is on the first floor. The host is extremely responsive and provides breakfast supplies (bread, butter, jam, juice, coffee) for guests. The kitchen is reasonably well stocked and there is a washing machine (!). The not so positive aspects are that the studio, while quaintly decorated with flea market finds, lacks comfortable seating. Couch is very soft. The bed, which is listed as being up a flight of stairs on a platform, was problematic. The mattress (comfortable) is on the floor. The ceiling is literally about 3 feet over the mattress so a tall person can barely sit up in bed. The 'guard rails' are quite low which felt a bit dangerous.There is barely room for the 'inner' sleeper to get up and get around the other sleeper near the stairs. If you are sprightly and short the bed would probably be OK. Be aware of this. The bathroom has plenty of hot water and a nice shower. The shower is not completely enclosed so water gets all over the bathroom making the tile floor slippery. So, a mixed bag. Just a note, we loved nearby Fez Mangal for excellent Turkish food, and, the Oporto Cafe on Portobello Road for the best custard tarts and good coffee. Also Garcia's Spanish store right around the corner.
