I had the best 3 weeks at Chantelle's flat in Notting Hill. I arrived early in the morning on the check in date and Chantelle was gracious to offer for me to leave my bags in the hallway of the flat until check in time at 3pm.
I had sprained my ankle earlier in the week and was not very mobile and she also got someone to assist me with my bags up to the apartment.
Just a note that its 3 flights up the stairs to get to it
The apartment looks exactly like the photos and is comfortable for 1-2 persons. I enjoy cooking and Chantelle's kitchen is a dream. She had plenty of cookbooks and some basic utensils for baking if you are interested to do so.
One of the best thing about the apartment is its location. Nice residential area with loads of restaurants, grocery shops and very accessible via buses and tube. Although I had to get to Holborn every morning, it was easy via bus or the tube. Portobello market is a short walk and the general Westbourne Grove area is lovely.
I am glad to have stayed at Chantelle's and am looking forward to my next trip and hoping to book her apartment again. I miss it already. As one other reviewer has mentioned, it is indeed a home away from home. Thank you for the hospitality Chantelle!
