Katy met us at her flat and had so much information ready for us, with lots of maps and pamphlets on how to use the public transportation system as well as important neighbourhood information as easy as which way to walk from her flat towards stores and restaurants.

The flat is perfect for two people and still OK for three or four, with the futon couch opening into a bed in the living room.

Katy was kind to provide us with breakfast items as well as space in her limited closet and dresser for some of our clothes. The full sized kitchen allowed us the option of cooking rather than going out every night. LOVE her Alice-in-Wonderland tea pot!

The flat is in a neighbour which feels very safe. It's a very short walk to Portobello Road which offers a plethora of shops and ethnic restaurants every day of the week.

If you're into jazz music, ask Katy if her band is playing during your stay and go enjoy! It's the local experiences like this as well as the local neighbourhood that we enjoyed as much if not more than the tourist attractions.

If we return to London, we'd definitely be reaching out on airbnb to Katy.

Thanks Katy!
