My husband and I stayed for a week at Philly's flat. It was a lovely experience for us. The flat is everything it says it is.

Philly was very friendly and kind, and attended our needs promptly. She is evidently very organized and neat which tells from how clean the place is. Finding somewhere clean is always a top criteria for us, and seeing the comments on this beforehand had helped us make our decision. There were no surprises there, the place was spotless! We were really happy.

The welcome tray, breakfast supply, towels and so on were all well thought and according to needs.

We were introduced to the flat and building and surroundings which was quite helpful.

Philly has created a cozy, homey and beautiful place to live which surrounds you immediately. The details of the decoration are very nice, and makes your stay special.

The location of the place is good. It is located close to Portobello Street and Notting Hill, but also 'far from the madding crowd'. It has the potential to give a very local London experience. I especially liked that it is situated very close to the canal, so we took long walks along it. The tube station is close enough, connecting you to Circle and Hammersmith&City Lines. The bus route is quite good, although it might take you ages to get somewhere with London buses! :)

The one and only downside was the bath for us. There is no shower, and we weren't careful enough to notice this detail beforehand. Yet, as soon as we let Philly know about this, she informed us she had taken on board and that a shower was being put as soon as we left. So the next guest should have no problem.

Overall we were happy with the flat and our host, and I can't see any reason not to recommend everyone to stay at Philly's beautiful (and clean!) home.
