This apartment is pretty awesome. We arrived from the US at 9pm and Maggie met us at the flat at 10pm to show us where everything was and how to use it. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with some milk, juice, bread, butter and a bottle of wine. Everything you need to not leave the house with an empty stomach!

The apartment is a flight below street level, but when there is so much to explore in London, this really makes no difference. It's at the end of a cul de sac that has zero traffic noise and we heard minimal noise from neighbors. The kitchen has the basics for meal preparation, but is probably best for reheating and simple cooking, not stocked for cooking your own feast. Beds are pretty comfy and the bathroom is up to date, with good water pressure and hot water.

The best thing about the place is it's position 1 block away from the Notting Hill Gate station which is on the Central Line and the Circle /District Lines. They will get you to almost anywhere you need quickly. Buses also run alongside Kensington Gardens to Hyde Park corner and other spots. Really, Really Great Location!

In the neighborhood you have the famous Portobello Road market just 2 blocks away, small versions of Tesco and Waitrose with lots of prepared foods to heat up at home and all the basics for you. Pretty good pubs including the Prince Albert and the Champion.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to friends and family.
