Our primary reason for staying was to attend a gig in Hyde Park for which the house was a blessing. Following that and for just generally getting around in the Notting Hill area we could not fault the location, it was excellent. The variety of places to get some to eat was almost overwhelming and we enjoyed excellent brunch meals in Sunday in Brooklyn and Beam and a superb chicken burger in the Porchester. The house was very accessible from Paddington station and for getting on the tube and the Portobello market was a short walk and nice surprise. The location for us was excellent and Patrick and his team communicated with us very well during the stay.
The house itself was spacious and the camera overlooking the main door the house lent a comforting feeling of security. However the 3 internal security cameras that we noted (kitchen, downstains hall and top of upstairs looking downstairs) felt invasive and unncessary plus we would have liked to have known of their placement ahead of booking. The kitchen flooring also seems to be badly warped and almost alarmingly soft in effected area. The couch cushions could do with reupholstery.
We slept well despite it being in noisy area with trains and loud cars / motorbikes going by to get on the motorway. We had to check in strictly after 3:30 despite our plane landing 2 hours earlier. I dont see a reason why we could not check in once the house was finished being cleaned and was ready for us.
The location of the house was a massive plus for our stay in the property for the 3 nights and we spent the majority of the time out of the apartment except to sleep and seek an hours refuge from the heat. We had a great trip and the house location was key to that so thanks Patrick and Anesu.
