Great location! The bus stop is a block away and it only takes minutes to get to Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Road. Royal Oak tube stop is only a 10 minute walk. Being on the top (4th) floor, we had lots of sunlight and fresh air. (The stairs gave us a great work out, too!) The kitchen is updated and had all the necessary appliances (fridge, stove/oven, tea kettle, toaster and a washing machine). Joe had a nice flat screen t.v. with Sky television and a Sonos sound system (though we never figured out how to use it.) He also had installed Nest to control the heat and once we figured that out, we were toasty.
The windows are double hung with new windows that kept the street noise to a low rumble. The bedroom was very quiet.

Joe was very accommodating. He replied quickly to our messages and sorted any problems that occurred, such as a leaking air mattress. He ordered one on line, paid for it, and we were able to hop on the tube and pick it up at a local Argos. Nice save! When we couldn't get hot water in the sinks, nor tub, and couldn't get the heat on, he offered to call a plumber. (We managed without as he had an insta-hot on the shower, and didn't want to wait around for a plumber. We did get the heat to work.)

It was apparent that Joe has not been in the flat long as there were no window coverings, minimal furniture, dishes, pots, pans, hand towels, etc. The bed, love seat and chair that he did have were nice quality and quite comfortable. There wasn't a dresser or hanging space for clothes. We lived out of our suitcases for the week we were there. He did have a new iron and ironing board and we just ironed as we went.

We didn't get to meet Joe and only communicated via AirBnB, but he seemed a lovely person and was very responsive. We were easily able to pick up the keys from a local business (Haminados Deli...great people, great food!) Overall, a nice flat and we enjoyed our stay.
