Wow! What a great place to stay. We met several jealous tourists staying in hotels with next to no space to spread out for their stay in London after we described our accomodation as we had plenty of room is this great basement flat. Close to the funky shops of Portabello Rd, pubs (try the Cock & Bottle), the Notting Hill Gate tube station as well as larger grocery stores a few hundred metres away, makes the location fantastic. We also took a short stroll down to Kensington Palace which took 15-20 minutes.
Simon's directions were perfect and he was very prompt with all of his communications. We have several friends coming to London that are now looking at booking this great flat. Everything worked as described.
We were staying during the carnivalle and the flat is located in a great spot where you are close enough to all the action but far enough away that it did not create any inconvenience for us.
If your thinking about a stay in London, this is a great option.
Happy travels,
Greg and Deb
