The house is perfectly located in one of the best parts of London. It's Notting Hill, it's Portobello Road, what else can I say?
View outside the window is amazing. The bed is cosy and the whole room together with the rest of the house is just lovely and homey. There's a painting of ocean and sailing ships on top of the shelf in my room, which reminds me of that scene in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader :) If you are trapped inside by bad weather don't worry, there's enough books and drawings to keep you occupied.
James couldn't be a better host. He'll provide lots of useful advice on where to go and what to do. He'll check on you and help you in all the way he could and make you feel supported. I was looking for a long-term rent at that time, and he told me a lot about which areas are relatively safer and which areas are more affordable. He even let me stay for a little longer when I failed to find another place to stay within those booked days. He feels like family.
If I ever had the luck, I would be more than happy to stay in this house again.
