This is one of the best Airbnb properties we've ever stayed in with hands-down THE BEST host. The apartment is lovely, spacious, meticulously clean and homey. It is extremely well located - a 5-minute walk to two different tube stations and 2 minutes away from grocery stores, many great restaurants and pubs, and a very short walk to Portobello Road, which is not to be missed! The apartment's gorgeous deck offers exceptional views, all of the amenities are fantastic, the beds are perfect after a long day of walking around, and the master bathroom shower is to die for. The building is secure and the unit (on the 7th floor, accessible by an elevator) is extremely quiet. Absolutely lovely place to stay! If the weather is nice it is lovely to walk the length of Hyde Park to get to Central London, and if you are in a hurry the tube stops are so convenient. It is also exceptionally easy to get to Heathrow from here - it's a 1-stop ride to Paddington Station where you can take the Heathrow Express directly to the airport. We've stayed other places in London but none match this one for ease, convenience of location, and niceness of the unit.
The quality of the unit is surpassed only by the quality of the host - Nolan is a true star. He met us when we arrived and gave us detailed instructions about how to use everything in the unit, to make sure we had everything we needed, and to give us recommendations about where to go in the area. He also was a hero when we accidentally locked ourselves out (which was completely our fault), responding immediately to an SOS message and going well out of his way to help us get they key despite being an hour away. He treated us like his friends from the start and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of the entire time. He is the type of person you'd want looking out for you in an unfamiliar city, and we are so lucky to have found him. We will absolutely be back and give this property our highest recommendation!
