Alex's flat in Nottinghill was better than described. The location is great. Enough off the beaten path to enjoy being in a residential area, but close enough to the commercial areas, too. You are a five minute walk to Portabello Rd shops and Saturday market, which is not to be missed. The Nottinghill tube station is an easy ten minute walk. Also, when you come back on the tube, Tesco and other stores are located across the street from the tube. Very convenient to grab groceries and supplies to take back to the flat. Alex was great to work with. He was in contact with us before our trip, while we were in Scotland before arriving in London, and while we stayed at the flat. Alex was there to greet us when we arrived. He showed us around and went over operation of all the appliances and the flat in general. He left us well supplied with paper goods, dishwasher tabs, and laundry soap. Also, Alex was great to help us out with an IPad we left behind. Alex went to the flat to retrieve it and arranged to have it shipped back to us in the States. The kitchen has everything one needs to prepare meals if you want. The kitchen, den area with foldout couch, and full bath are located on the first floor. The den area worked great for our son to stay. He had the whole level to himself, unless we were in the kitchen. The patio area is located off the kitchen and den. It's very private and great place to sit. The upper floor has the two bedrooms, both with ensuite baths. The solarium is the topper. It's an additional wing to itself. Would imagine in the cooler months, it would be the most used area in the flat. There is a noncorporate pub within a 5 min. walk. Kensington Park and Palace are within a 15 min. walk. Tube access to anywhere else in London you need to get to. We used Uber, taxi, and car service while we were here. The tube is the fastest way to get most places, with the traffic. We cut it close getting to a play using Uber. Taxi from the train station, and car service to Heathrow. Would love to stay here again on our next trip to London.
