My sister and I had a great time in London. The flat in Notting Hill is in a great location within a 5 minute cab or bus ride from Paddington Station. The pictures on Airbnb give an accurate overview of this attractive property. We found the flat was a bright and quiet respite from our busy week in London. Our host was travelling at the time of our stay so we will have to meet at a later date. She ensured that we had an alternate contact person should any issues arise (there were no issues!). Review the house rules before you book to ensure a good fit between you and your host. If, like us, you regard your Airbnb flat as a 'home away from home' then you will undoubtedly enjoy your stay immensely. Living in a neighbourhood, especially one as lovely as the Westbourne Park area of Notting Hill, was far superior than being in a tourist district. There was a small food store nearby, coffee shops and we had a memorable meal at a Persian restaurant, Hafez, on nearby Hereford Road. You are an Oyster card away from getting to Central London by bus or bus/tube – one bus stop is on the block, others are less than a block away. Clare answered our questions promptly via email in advance of our stay and we had no problems with the user-friendly system for gaining access to the flat. This was our first Airbnb experience and both the property and process exceeded our expectations.
