Once you climb the 70 steps up to Ella’s front door then another 16 to the actual living area you enter a beautiful, sunny, light flat. Bedroom has sufficient wardrobe/drawer space and bed is amazingly comfortable. Bathroom/shower is compact but adequate. I slept so well as bedroom is at back of flat and very quiet. There is a washing machine and compact dishwasher and lots of supplies. Ella’s flat is comfy, tastefully decorated and perfect for single traveller or couple. Location is fab with Hyde Park across the street, bus direct to Piccadilly Circus at top of street and 2 tube stations all within a block. There are local supermarkets and variety of restaurants. Notting Hill Gate is 15 minutes walk or one tube stop away. Ella stayed in touch despite being away on vacation and was always courteous, cheerful and happy to make local suggestions to ensure that her guests experienced of London and neighbourhood to the fullest. I’d happily stay again but not with a large suitcase as I had lots of difficulties getting it back downstairs.
