My stay at Elena’s place was great - it is super close to Bayswater tube station and just a short walk away from the stylish area of Notting Hill, and the calm of Hyde Park. The room is nicely decorated and has a super comfy bed, it’s great value for money. For very noise-sensitive people such as I, the closeness to the street and tube might be a bit of a challenge but Elena did everything to make my stay comfortable, she really went above and beyond! As she has 2 rooms in her flat I also met a new friend and we continued to explore London together for 2 days.
