Alex's place is well positioned for Notting Hill walks, Portobello Markets, stores, and all transport. It's cozy and perfectly adequate with super-comfy bed -- but very basically provisioned (e.g., no paper towels in kitchen) so expect to do a bit extra grocery shopping. While we were there during Easter week, the next-door neighbor kept their TV on almost constantly so, with the thin walls, the living room was never fully quiet. [No noise issue in bedroom.] You should be aware that there are three steps down to the kitchen -- not a problem for us but might be awkward for some. Except for the noise issue we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
