This flat is ideally situated - couldn't ask for a better spot. We walked to Kensington Palace and Gardens, Notting Hill, Chelsea, and the Gloucester tube station was just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is very charming, with coffee shops, restaurants and very friendly pubs all within walking distance. Nicole was a pleasant and responsive host. Thanks for the tip to use Kabbee.com for taxi service - that was a great bit of advice. The apartment was bright and sunny. We appreciated having a washing machine to do our laundry. That turned out to be the most useful feature of the kitchen, which was otherwise not very functional due to its size and the fact that it was so jammed with personal items. It's important to note that the host lives in this apartment and consequently personal items are stowed away throughout the apartment. Overall, the flat was a good value for the money and allowed us to explore London from a safe, central and convenient home base.
