Melanie's flat was the perfect home base for my week-long trip to London. There was plenty of room for 1-2 people, the place was very clean, and it just exuded the Notting Hill charm that I was after. Melanie herself was a great hostess and personally checks you in. She was always available via text or phone if needed and provided great tips and info regarding the location and what to do/where to eat/how to get into Central London. I personally loved all the books in the sitting room! A great place to wind down after taking a long soak in the BATH TUB, which is hard to find in London. That was the main reason I booked this place. As a solo female traveler, I never felt unsafe or worried, even when coming back at night after a long day of touristing. My ONLY negative, which is on me more than Melanie or the flat, is that the toilet area is a bit tight if you are on the larger side. With some maneuvering it's manageable. Even with that, I give this place all the stars and will definitely be staying here again.
