We stayed at Ella's place for five nights and had a wonderful stay! The unit was within walking distance of the train, short walk to Notting Hill and basically in the heart of Bayswater where there were any number of ethnic restaurants. The unit is on the top floor which also meant there was no one above us so it was very quiet. Ella had just renovated the bathroom and other parts of the unit so it was really lovely. Her bed is extremely comfortable, and the unit had everything we needed - dishwasher, full oven range, TV (enjoyed Ella's Seinfeld collection!), table, couch, etc. The bathroom and shower are quite small, but do the trick! Ella was extremely communicative before and during our stay. She even called us from California (where she was on holiday) to discuss our stay and answer any questions. Her cousin let us in and spent time showing us around the apartment, and was generous in his suggestions of things to do and restaurants to visit. Ella's place is also one block from two of the major tour bus companies and it was extremely easy to just hop on/off. Highly recommend!
