We had a very memorable and terrific time in London staying at Tass's flat in Notting Hill. The place was conveniently located in the heart of Notting Hill - but on a quiet street with access to the shared garden.
Tass is an exceptional host - probably the best I've had through several Airbnb stays. He's super responsive and very caring. This was really important for us, as travel from the US to the UK was very tricky during the 2021 Christmas season.
The apartment was ideal for the 3 of us, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living area. Since we stayed here during the Christmas period, we also cooked two meals in the flat. We also stayed during the height of the Omicron variant of the Covid-19, and Tass worked with us to navigate through all of the testing requirements from the UK government.
The flat was tidy, well kept, and comfortable - a perfect place to jump off to explore London. Notting Hill has many terrific little restaurants, so we found ourselves exploring London, but always coming back to Notting Hill to relax (and cocktail) before dinner. There are a few nice little pubs very close to the flat, 2 were open on Christmas Day, which was a pleasant surprise.
Overall, an exceptional experience in London during a very challenging time for all of us. Highly recommended.
