The flat was great. I stayed with 1 other friend and the split level gave us each our own space. The location was very convenient, right around the corner from the Notting Hill Gate tube station. Check in/out was easy. There was a bit of street noise, as earlier reviews suggested. If you're not sleeping in the living room and are only using the bedroom you won't hear it. If you plan on using the couch in the living room it may bother you a bit but it is just traffic noise.
