There are pros and cons about this flat.
Pros:
1. Lovely, responsive host. I always got a quick response to any question or concern.
2. Very spacious flat. I really appreciated how much space was provided in this rental.
3. Generally nice appliances.
4. Very convenient to either Notting Hill Gate or Bayswater Tube.
Cons:
1. There was an unpleasant sewage smell throughout the flat. I do not think it was new, as there are aroma diffusers everywhere. Towards the end of the stay, the smell was so strong and unpleasant that my daughter had to move out of one of the bedrooms. I cannot imagine what it would have been like in the summer.
2. It is a basement apartment, not a garden apartment. There is only one exit in the unit, and very minimal natural light. There is no garden view. More importantly, in the US, the unit would not meet fire safety code for exits near sleeping areas. I assume fire codes are different in the UK, if so, it must be to code.
