My girlfriend and I spent six nights in Jasmine's Garden Flat in Notting Hill/Kensington, and we never wanted to leave. Jasmine greeted us upon arrival, gave us a brief tour of the flat, and, before setting off, made sure we knew how to reach her in case of emergency. She was everything we hoped for in a host. The flat itself looks exactly like it does in photos--huge, open, smartly decorated, with a comfortable bed, couches, and a fully functioning kitchen. The location was--I can't stress this enough--perfect. The flat is located on a quiet residential street, around the corner from Notting Hill Gate (and the tube) at one end and Kensington Street at the other. In either direction are charming restaurants, shops, and places to explore. Portabello Road is a lovely 10 minute walk, and Central London, Shoreditch, and everything else London has to offer are just a few tube stops away.
