So many positive aspects of this lovely duplex, the amenities thoughtfully organized by the host, and the host's (Isa) welcoming and thorough hospitality!
If you've have your heart set on the energy and diversity of the Notting Hill/Portobello Rd area look no further for the perfect space. Everything you'll need for your stay in this bright, modern duplex and the area has been anticipated and provided for: A complete kitchen with quality kitchenware, tableware, cookware and everything in reach. Every detail has been provided for as Isa has clearly thought of the needs of her visitors first and foremost.
A few favorite spots nearby were two restaurants of note - each only a few short blocks away: 7 Saints, a small farm to table restaurant serving phenomenal modern English cuisine is a must-try. For robust Italian try Essenza Ristorante - where on any night you'll be sharing the dining room with Italian visitors (always a good sign of authenticity). For baked breakfast goods and fresh coffee to bring back to the flat - or a larger breakfast or lunch in their cafe - just head a few doors down to Maison Puget Bakery & Cafe - incredible quality.
Enjoy your stay!
