This Airbnb is ideally located in Notting Hill in a beautiful environs and very well priced.
Richard is an attentive host who will spend 25 minutes or more showing you through his Airbnb with pride. His favourite line: Everything is perfectly matched and perfectly organised. Thank you Richard.
Our room, nice-looking, with two windows, which was not part of his flat/apartment, was one flight down with its own key. It had an attached toilet, that could be cleaner. The room is small, about 10 feet by 10 feet, but that's really princely for the location and price.
The shower, however, is located one flight up in the bathroom in Richard's apartment. That aspect would not work for some -- basically because the bathroom door is not lockable or fully closable, so one's privacy is not ensured. Richard will give you a long story as to why the bathroom door neither closes nor locks but many will still not be comfortable with that. Secondly the mechanics of the shower are way too finicky. Richard stresses what buttons should be pressed or not to get hot water and a shower flow. Most can easily comprehend that. But the arrangement is more tedious than functional.
WiFi is promised but for whatever reasons we never got access to it. I asked about access to the kitchen facilities but twice it was suggested that there are so many restaurants nearby.
