We loved staying at Mel's place - it is very easy and central to Portobello Road, a short walk to Tesco, to the Spanish grocery shop, to an excellent juice bar, restaurants of every kind both in Portobello and in various Italian's - all good - in Kensington Park Road. There is are rentable bikes just outside to the right for the energetic, otherwise a stroll will take you easily to a choice of two Underground stations. The flat is clean and cosy, and has all you need, with good wifi.
Thank you Mel - we look forward to coming back.
