Our trip to London was exceptional and I think staying in the "Picturesque Notting Hill" studio contributed to our success. This is an excellent suite for two people for a longer stay. It is a spacious studio, for London, with a comfy bed and cozy, comfy couch - the furniture seemed new - and beautiful high ceilings with large windows that open to let in fresh air. There is a small closet with hangers and a tall, thin dresser - the storage was fine for us.
The apartment is on the third floor and is a walk up - if you find the stairs difficult, there is a groovy velvet couch where you can rest along the way. We had no issues climbing the stairs and I was with my Mom who is in her 70's.
Note that there is no teapot or coffee making appliances but there is a kettle. We found the multifunction oven/convection/microwave and two burner stove top to be adequate for making meals in the suite.
But the real star of this visit? The location. We walked or rode buses everywhere. Immediate access to Hyde Park, Notting Hill, and Portobello Market. Buses and underground transit are only mere minutes away in bustling and lively Notting Hill Gate. I really love Linden Gardens - the houses and spring blossoms are beautiful and the area is amazingly quiet. A few days into our visit we realized that a train ran nearby, but it was pretty quiet.
Communicating with Max and Billie was easy, considering the impact of the difference in timezones (I was writing from Canada). When we asked for a vaccum, one was supplied by the person who cleans the rooms, without any fuss.
I would come back for another stay in this suite and further exploration of London.
