The room is exactly the same than I could looking it up on web. The quartier is quiet and you have shops and market near. You can go walking to Notting Hill and Portobelo. Two Undregroud Station only walking 5 or 10 minutes. Very convenient if you arrived at Heathrow Airport. I only met Julia for some minutes so I can't tell anything about her. Everything was, more or less, good. The only thing didn't work properly was the shower.
