My first trip to London was perfect, greatly in part to my lovely stay at Eliot's. Ideally located in the quirky, off-beat Notting Hill neighbourhood, you are close to everything: shops, lovely cafes and restaurants and public transportation. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Tube and many bus lines. And despite it's being near central, it's quiet and tranquil - offering a nice peaceful rest at the long day's sight-seeing. I stayed by myself and the room was cozy and the bed was comfortable. My host Eliot was almost like a ninja, silent and invisible. If he was home though, he'd be happy to offer advice on where to go or eat. And the apartment itself was immaculately clean, and smelled lovely. It was the perfect sanctuary after a hustle-bustle day.
