We loved staying at Desley's place and she made us feel most welcome when we arrived. She had even provided a loaf of fresh bread and some eggs which were perfect after a day of travelling. The apartment is clean, quiet, and very homely and Desley provided plenty of maps and guide books as well as a great list of recommended cafes and restaurants. It's also very close to all the joys of Notting Hill, Portobello Rd, and Westbourne Grove and is a very short walk from the Tube with it's easy access to all of London. Highly recommended.
