Advantages:
* location is great- literally less than a km walk to the Westbourne Grove High Street. Which is one of my fave high streets- loads cute cafes & restaurants
* The Flat is very cute & cosy. The decoration & aesthetic is very quaint and stylish
* Comfortable bed
* 1st floor(one flight of stairs only)
* A small balcony area
* Very lovely, kind and helpful host- available for all questions and at anytime.
* A rail with lots of hangers to hang clothes
Disadvantages:
* More towards Bayswater area, than Notting hill. A short walk though about 15/20 mins to Portobello Road
* extremely old and tattered away building& street too. It is very run down and seems like there has been no maintenance in very many years. Wallpaper falling apart, dusty etc
* The bath tub must be used as a tub only, as we were told if you stand in the tub and “shower” the water leaks to The neighbours downstairs- and they complain this was a slight disadvantage as I was there for a work trip and needed a quick shower.
* The kitchen space is very small
* Great space for a single person- I feel 2 people may be a bit crowded
* Small additions are missing such as a hairdryer/ toiletries/ washing powder- which isn’t a huge disadvantage at all, but worth a mention
Overall our experience was good- the flat is very very cute & another mention is that it’s very close to Paddington station- so if you are coming from Heathrow with the Heathrow Express it’s an easy walk.
