Robert's place is less than a 10 minute walk to Portabello Rd restaurants and in the weekend there's an outdoor market that stretches on for blocks! It was very centrally located and accessible by bus and train station. The place itself is very nice ad modern. The balcony is quite beautiful and there's even lounge chairs outside for when it's warm. I found that I talked to the doormen more than Robert which was pleasantly surprising. I didn't get to talk to Robert that much which wasn't that big of a deal. If you're traveling with Airbnb and using it as a way to connect with people you typically would not- I would not necessarily recommend this place. I felt more like a roommate that was tolerated.
