It was an absolute joy to spend 10 days at Meg's house. She went out of her way to accommodate me at the last minute and was an incredibly thoughtful and helpful host. She made sure I was settled in and had everything I could need.
Her house truly is the quintessential Nottinghill home. It is old and quirky as you would expect from this historic location but homey and absolutely perfect. The location is brilliant. It's between three different tube stations, which give you easy access to the central line, the district line, and the circle line. It is one stop away from Paddington station which means you're also near all of the train lines. The neighborhood is great! Close to portobello market but a bit quieter and off the beaten track. It is a very international neighborhood. There are also plenty of restaurants as well as cafés and various grocery stores. The best feature is that easy 5 minute walk to Hyde Park. It is a great place for a run or a stroll or simply a place to rest and relax.
If you're looking for a place to rest that is close to the city but not in the middle of it this is the perfect spot for you. You'll feel like you are living like a local.
I truly could not recommend Meg or her house more highly. I'd return in a heartbeat!
