Helena's apartment is a very lovely garden basement unit exactly as described. It is conveniently located in the Notting Hill neighborhood and very close to the Portobello market, about 5 minutes from Westbourne Park tube station. Though small, it is a very tastefully done apartment and was the right size for two people. Despite it being a basement unit, we had no problem with the lighting. Helena is a very gracious host who was there to receive us during check-in and to get us familiar with all the amenities. We stayed here for three days and felt that this was appropriate although this unit did not have a dishwasher, microwave or a (clothes) washer. Highly recommended; feels just like home!
