I stayed a week at Max & Billie's listing. Aside from the space being slightly smaller than I thought it would be (in saying this, the space is perfectly fine for one person) and the floors quite dusty, my stay here was quite perfect.

Max and Billie went above and beyond before it was time for me to check in (at 3pm) by allowing me to drop my luggage off at their High Kensington Street offices (which was much appreciated after landing at 8am after a 24 hour flight).

In terms of the room itself, it has everything you need i.e. table, chair, wardrobe with hangers, enough kitchen accessories to get you by (however, I would probably recommend a new kettle seeing as the current one had begun to flake at the bottom), a clean kitchen, a heater (which worked very well) and a TV with many channels. There's even a washing machine and dryer located in the communal area which you can use as a complimentary service, which was very much appreciated.

I think a very small negative with the room is that seeing it's quite small and on the lower ground level, you can sometimes feel as though you're locked away from the world, however the silver lining here is that it was always quiet (that is, when the couple next door weren't loud - if you get my drift) and the room was very dark in the mornings (great for jet lag).

In terms of location, it's really a dream - legit 2-3 minute walk to Notting Hill Gate underground, which connects you to the central and district/circle lines. You can basically get anywhere within 15-30 minutes. About a 10 minute walk to the hub of Portobello Road markets, 5 minutes to all the grocery stores on Bayswater Road, and then 10 minutes to the entrance of Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens.

The area was one that I felt very safe in and one that was easy to grow accustomed to - many great cafes and pubs in the area.

All in all, an amazing stay at a listing I would definitely recommend and one that I would return to in the future. Thank you Max and Billie!
