The flat location is excellent. It is very close to Portobello road. It is a proper artist’s flat, with sculptures, paintings and paint scattered around. So the first impression was very positive. However, the flat is a basement, and is dump and can be cold at night. In fact, in spite of the handwritten heating instructions, stating one could regulate the heating, this is set on a fixed programme and there is no way to change it when the flat gets colder. Probably for this reason, bed linen and bath towels had an unpleasant odour.
