The location near Notting Hill Gate can't be beat - easy walk to grocery stores and restaurants. I didn't initially understand the electronic key that you must put on your phone but soon got the hang of it. My room was pretty basic and had everything I needed. The hosts kindly loaned me an office chair to use while I telecommuted and were good to reimburse me the cost of laundering my clothes when the dryer had a problem. I stayed for the week and would come back again the next time I'm in London. Thank you.
