Margaret was very welcoming and helpful prior to and during our stay. We were able to check-in to the apartment early, upon our arrival to London which we appreciated and allowed for us to explore London all afternoon without our bags. The apartment was clean and well stocked with shampoo, soaps, etc. The bathroom, albeit gorgeous, took some getting used to as the shower is open, in the middle, so water does get all over the bathroom. I knew ahead of time that there were no blinds/curtains based on reviews and I do agree, curtains would be nice for additional privacy. There was street noise at night so bring ear plugs if noise is of concern. After all, it is a city so don't be surprised of the noise. Location is great if you do not want to be near city center. We walked to Notting Hill and also through the parks to Kensington and Buckingham Palaces and then took an uber back. We ate across the street at Crown and Sceptor and nearby Hare and the Tortoise. Both very good restaurants. Thank you Margaret for helping to make our first trip to London go smoothly.
