Great location - buses to nearby tube stops every few minutes just outside the front door. Notting Hill Gate station just a 5 or 6 minute walk and a quick trip into central london. Lots of places to eat within a 5 or 10 minute walk. It was great sitting in the solarium and seeing the buses and the world in general go by. It was just removed enough from the street that we didn't feel self conscious but close enough that we felt part of the neighborhood. If you want to experience what it's like to actually live there, this is a great place. Excellent modern kitchen. Alex, the host was great.
