Joanna's basement flat had two lovely bedrooms, living room and a very nice kitchen. It was a rare treat to sit outside on the back terrace for breakfast. The place was very quiet, even though it was only a seven-minute walk to Portobello Market and around the same distance to the nearest Underground station at Ladbroke Grove. The neighborhood is full of character, with wonderful restaurants like Orasay and fantastic furniture shops like Sitara on Portobello Road.
