I had a great time at Alex's place. It's about 10-12 mins walk to the next Underground station that will take you to Notting Hill in no time and to downtown in 15 mins. The house is clean and in a quiet area. I loved having my own bathroom! The internet is quick and the bed is large and very comfortable. The room was larger than I had expected, there was a lot of space to store my belongings (and London purchases ;)). The communication with Alex was quick and efficient; he was not there when I arrived but it was no problem to get into the house. He and his daughters and cat were really nice. I'd always stay there again.
