Maria's home was great. The room was clean and fairly quiet (low street noise can be heard). Bathroom was very clean too. You have a half bath to yourself and share the shower. Maria helped me with suggestions around the city and navigating public transportation. The area is great because you're next to the park and blocks from tons of great cafes and restaurants. Plus Notting Hill is gorgeous. As others have stated, there is no elevator to the apartment and the stairs are steep and long. So something to be mindful of before booking. I had a relaxing stay and would do it again!
