We enjoyed the neighbourhood very much -- lots of cafés, restaurants, pubs and quirky shops. The Portobello Market is great -- especially on Saturday. The location of the flat is very convenient for public transportation (the 52 bus is great for Victoria Station) and there are grocery shops and fruit stands just around the corner. Sadakat is a kind and considerate host. We followed his restaurant advice and had several good meals in the area. The kitchen is compact but has all the appliances and dishes you need. The traffic is noisy but we quickly acclimatised and slept well. One of the bedrooms is small (just enough room for a double bed and a dresser) but it was comfortable enough.
