We had a wonderful time at Joanna's flat! My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed in the flat for 5 nights, but we wished it could have been longer. The charming Notting Hill district offers so many restaurant and bar options, the Portobello road market, and a tube station 5 minutes away, a bus stop right up the street... this neighborhood can't be beat. Joanna was a fantastic host, and was so sweet to let us check in early. We had arrived really early in the morning, and were afraid we would have to check in our luggage at a train station after flying in from America overnight. I emailed her and she responded within 5 minutes that she was leaving her flat and we could make our way over immediately!
The flat is just so charming! It was a bit smaller in person, as in most cases, but it didn't matter because Joanna is an artist and she has created an amazing home! Every item, every dish, pillow, etc has been carefully selected for beauty and function. The garden provided a gorgeous view from the sofa, and her artwork is lovely. I would definitely recommend Joanna's place to stay if you're looking for a cozy, eclectic hobbit hole in The heart of Notting Hill, about 5 doors down from the famous Blue Door! Thanks again, Joanna!
