Five Things I Loved About Catherine's Place
1. The Location
Situated just a short walk away from Portobello Market and Notting Hill, Catherine's house is perfect place to discover one of the best areas of London, and near enough to several Tube stations from whcih you can explore further. Take a stoll to Westboure Grove for brunch in a chic restaurant, or to the stalls of Portobello Road for some eclectic browsing, wander up to Notting Hill and futher to Kensington to access some of the best shopping in the world, or to sample some top restaurants - the cream of London is right on the doorstep.
2. Our Host
Catherine is quick to respond, very friendly and hospitable, and gave me a private tip on a great, pretty much unknown museum just around the corner. She's a tip-top Airbnb host!
3. The House
A beautiful, cosy terraced, flower covered house, on a street so quiet, it's hard to believe you're in the heart of one of the most bustling parts of the city, it gives you the feeling that you're living there from the outset, and is always a pleasure to come back to.
4. The Decor
So many Airbnb places are filled with Ikea form-fit pieces you've seen before, but not this house, which is full of quirky art and furniture, and touches that make it unique and a pleasure to spend time in.
5. The Comfort
Beautifully comfortable beds, lovely linen, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a cosy living area, and a private little garden out the back that feels a little like an allotment alongside the neighbours gardens, it's the perfect place to rest after a long day of sightseeing or shopping, and a lovely, light-filled house to enjoy breakfast before you set off the next morning.
