Max and Billie’s apartment was in an awesome location in Notting Hill. Close to the tube station and bus stops that take you anywhere in London. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops close by as well.
The room is on the top floor and you have to climb four flights of stairs to get there which with luggage or after a hard day of sight seeing is not ideal. The walls are also super thin and you can hear conversations of people in the next apartment. The apartments next to me seemed to only have people staying for a night as most mornings the cleaners were there early so there was no chance of a lie in with the noise.
The room itself is small and would probably suit shorter stays. I stayed for 6 days and that was too long in such a confined space. There are cooking utensils supplied but the kitchen space is really too small to cook anything. A microwave would be more suitable than the cook top provided.
The hosts implemented a new electronic key system just before my stay and while it was simple to use it does require a smart phone to use it. So if your battery goes flat or something happens to your phone during the stay you can’t get in. I use my phone as a camera also and I had to be really careful to conserve my battery while out sight seeing all day so I was able to unlock the apartment. Not really something I wanted to be worried about while on holidays.
All in all, I had a comfortable stay but I don’t think I’d book again when I’m back in London.
