I absolutely loved my stay at Maya's studio! A fantastic first Airbnb experience. The studio is exactly like the pictures, and really feels like a home away from home. The location is more than I'd hoped for, perfectly situated near portobello road. I found that I liked to use Ladbroke Grove station as my main transport point into the city rather than Notting Hill Gate, it's closer and I found it to run more frequently to the destinations I needed. As a young solo traveller far from home, I highly recommend Maya's to anyone who is looking for that peace of mind regarding security. Maya's place has multiple locks on the front, so you can choose to lock multiple if you feel you'd like too (but the neighbourhood is wonderful anyway, so you'll probably decide you don't need to!) Had one small issue regarding the water supply, however this was an issue for the whole block (water mains). Maya did all she could to help out, and she kept me updated on what was going on regularly. She was easily reached throughout my stay. Check in went very smoothly. I highly recommend this studio. Thanks Maya!
