We had a wonderful 10-day stay at this charming flat! The location and neighborhood were ideal for us — great for walking, restaurants and a variety of shopping, easy transportation links, and pretty, leafy streets and squares throughout. The Central line, at the Notting Hill Gate tube station, took us all over London with never more than one train change required. There were several grocery stores nearby that stocked easy meals, which was great for the occasional breakfast or dinner in the flat.
That flat is lovely and very comfortable. The bedrooms have good curtains and shades which block the morning light when closed — a feature often lacking in other Airbnb rentals! The beds and linens are very nice and the views are pretty, especially the sunsets seen from the smaller bedroom. The kitchen is well-equipped and bright. With it’s classic and traditional decoration, this flat feels like an actual residence rather than a utilitarian Airbnb. At the same time, it’s not overly personal to the owners. This balance is hard to find in vacation rentals.
Nick was gracious and helpful. He provided us with plenty of useful information and recommendations for our stay. His information on transportation alone saved us a lot of time. He responded quickly to questions, and gave us phone numbers for additional people to contact in case he was ever unavailable. Everything was in perfect order, so we had no need to contact anyone for help during our stay. We would be very happy to stay here again when we are in London!
