I enjoyed staying with Julia very much. Her flat is conveniently located to shopping, the park, tube station, Notting Hill and downtown tourist London.
The room was large and had an amazing comfortable bed that made you fall asleep instantly. The shower was very good as well and Julia was a lovely host. I appreciate her renting out this room and being a good hostess. Her apartment was cool in the summer heat and there weren't many steps to carry luggage up to the top floor. Even if you have a lot of luggage, its not a problem. Julia was very helpful as well with recommendation of taxis, hair saloons and sharing her kitchen.

I choose to stay with her because she is 5 minute walking from the Westfield Shopping center. It has some of London's finest restaurants in my opinion and very good shopping. It was a fun quiet neighborhood with everything close by. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a London break - this area is less busy than Oxford Circus, but about 6-7 tube stations from Oxford if you fancy going there. Plus its a money saver!
Thanks Julia!
