If you want to stay in the heart of Notting Hill, this is the flat for you!
Clifford's flat was the perfect location to feel the heart and energy of Notting Hill, but also sleep well--the flat is on the 4th floor and very quiet. There was one festive Saturday evening where we could hear music from below, but otherwise, it's shocking how quiet this apartment in a major city!
You are close to 2 grocery stores, the Pound store, a Starbucks and several coffeeshops and restaurants. A cool pub (the Distillery) has delicious food and drink and is only a few minutes away by walking!
The only thing to know is it's on the 4th floor (no elevator), but the stairs weren't an issue for us at all, in fact, we appreciated all the walking we did in London to the Tube and around the city.
I would easily stay here again. Clifford was kind and easygoing AND got us in 2 hours earlier--so we truly appreciated his flexibility. Safe apartment and area--we felt comfortable leaving all our devices and things in the apartment. Also, an easy-to-use washer and dryer! So excellent if you are travelers like us who just use carryons and need to do wash.
Oh and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided! And a good hairdryer!
