Joanna is an excellent host, communicative, responsive, and very accommodating. This is a spacious apartment, with a large living and dining area. The garden is lovely. Wifi very fast and reliable. The decor is imaginative and tasteful and a bonus is the works of art, which are Joanna's own. Excellent location in the heart of Notting Hill right off Portobello Road. The bus right outside the door goes to many key tourist locations in London. There are several coffee shops within steps (including a Starbucks right on the corner). Portobello Road, again right at the corner, offers all manner of shops and services, as well as restaurants, cafes and pubs. I would recommend the tapas place on Portobello Road immediately to the north, located in a piazza-first rate, reasonably-priced Spanish food in a charming setting. My friend who was staying with me forgot his laptop and Joanna saved the day by immediately notifying me and by organizing her schedule so that he could conveniently return to the apartment and pick it up. I didn't get to meet Joanna but my friend did and he confirmed that she is as warm, friendly and pleasant as appeared from our electronic communications.
