Both Joanna and Marcus are lovely, welcoming and hospitable people. They share their house with the guests, which means you can get in touch with them quite easily. They are always open for a chat but they also know when to keep their distance and they are very discreet if you are not in the mood for talking.
The room and private bathroom is exactly as listed, there is lots of nice stuff and clearly, they keep a good eye on the details everywhere around the house. Nearly everything you can image is complimentary, including high quality cosmetic products and a filled mini fridge inside your room.
Located in the upper part of the Portobello Road, there are a lot of nice restaurants and shops around the corner. Tube station Ladbroke Grove is only a short walk away. It takes about 20-30min to get into the city center, which is quite reasonable give the large distances in London. Same is true during the nights, for example with bus line 23 (24 hours).
Couldn't imagine a better experience for my first AirBnB stay.
