The locations what makes this a great deal. This is the perfect place to rent if you want to stay in Notting Hill but don't want to pay Notting Hill prices... Portobello Road is just over the canal. The canal itself is beautiful... if you're looking for a walk or a long run, there's a path that goes for miles alongside the water where you can take in all the colorful barges docked along the banks. Paddington is also just a short way away, and if you walk toward it along the canal you'll be rewarded with all kinds of fun waterside cafes, including some on barges themselves.
Richard and Jasmine were wonderful responsive hosts. The apartment is cozy and clean, perfect for two people. It's tucked into a nice out-of-the-way mews that's quiet at night. You've got to be a little careful with the water temperature in the faucets and shower-- sometimes you'll get a spontaneous burst of very hot water. But I suspect it's just a trick of old plumbing, and we got the hang of it soon enough.
Thank you for a lovely stay! I miss Portobello Road already! ❤
