We’ve left our hearts in Nicholas’ flat.
It is a perfect home away from home. I usually miss mine when I’m on vacation, but this time I wished I didn’t have to leave. The flat is on the top floor, which is perfectly served by a lift, and it is absolutely stunning; elegantly decorated, comfortable, with spectacular views over Ladbroke Gardens and the picturesque St.John’s Church.
The flat has a lovely powder room and a full bathroom, the latter close to the two bedrooms. The beds are incredibly comfortable and so are the pillows, it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The lo double bedroom is dreamy, there’s a beautiful dressing table where I used to comb my hair and put on make up as the sun perfectly comes in through the window where the table is placed. The neighbourhood and its inhabitants are quiet and polite. I also loved having breakfast in the sitting room, where there’s a balcony that looks over a private park. Last, but no least, Nicholas was a perfect host; caring, kind, considerate, responsive. He even brought us coffee capsules when he learnt we didn’t know how to use the coffee machine. He had warned us about the ongoing construction work taking place in the building, but we weren’t bothered by the workers at all. Actually, we never knew if they were there or not!
The flat is close to 2 tube stations (Holland Park and Notting Hill Gate), several bus stops, restaurants, pubs, fast foods, grocery shops, pharmacies.
To sum up, it was a five stars stay, in a five stars home… in a five stars location. I can’t recommend this flat enough. When we go back to London, we will definitely book Nick’s flat again.
