have just enjoyed a few days in London, staying at Max & Billies Notting Hill apartment. really good location, just a short walk from tube, and plenty of cafes/takeaways/supermarkets around for picking up essentials for self catering. flat was clean and comfortable, and having the extra bed was really good. nice and quiet location at night, but just round the corner from the main street . short walk to Portobello Market, Farm Girl cafe, and some nice pubs & restaurants in the area. short walk or tube journey from south kensington and some great shopping, and easy to get into central london by tube or bus . good wi fi. very easy entry system with the Klevio key app. max and billie also let us store our luggage at their offices on our last day, which was really helpful.
only downside of our trip were noisy neighbours. this wastnt max & billies fault and when i contacted them about this they dealt with it promptly. the upstairs residents came in at 5am, stomped around in what sounded like really big boots, had showers, flushed the toilet, and this didnt stop till 7am by which time i had given up on trying to get back to sleep.
this istnt a negative point about the apartment, but just to point out to people when renting flats to be mindful of others and aware that all that noise at really anti social hours is just selfish! all was quiet the next night after Max & Billie had e mailed residents, but then they were back to being noisy again the night after.
all in all would recommend the apartment as a nice comfortable base for staying in when in London. more reasonable than a hotel, and more spacious. just dont stay in it if you're going to be the selfish noisy neighbour!
all communication dealt with really quickly, and they were very helpful. notting hill is a lovely area, so recommend.
