My mother and I stayed at Sophie's place in October 2013. It was our first Air BnB experience and we were so impressed.

Firstly, Sophie is lovely. She met us early in the morning to let us into the flat and gave us some good tips on how to get around the city, the best places to eat etc. She had even got us Oyster cards before we arrived!

Secondly, the flat is in a great location. Right next to a tube and bus station (Ladbroke Grove) that gets you into the city in about 20-30 minutes.

And lastly, the flat is very comfortable. We felt at home instantly. Sophie had got us breakfast foods, fruit, chocolates and even a bottle of wine to help us settle in. The bedroom is at the back of the flat and is very quiet. There is also a gorgeous back deck that gets sun and has two resident squirrels who come to say hello if you're lucky.

I would definitely recommend staying here. If you want to be close to shopping (Portobello Rd Markets are one street away), good restaurants and cafes and easy access to the city then this is the place for you.
