I was staying in London for a research collaboration for several months and had the good fortune to find a room at Matteo's place. The room is perfect for a single traveller or student: contains bed, desk, closet, table and sunny window that overlooks the underground and surrounding neighborhood. The location is excellent; located near 2 different underground stations that can easily take you to central/south london or east/west london. Additionally you're located literally on the border of kensington park and notting hill, making access to shopping and portobello market very easy.

Matteo is a great host, friendly, welcoming and full of recommendations for things to do around london. I felt very at ease using the shared kitchen and bathroom (both very clean), and would definitely stay again.
