We stayed at Constantino's place for two nights (we are a family of three with a 7 year old). Everything was perfect...we loved their house, we had lots of space, really quiet at night, great access to two tube stations (Westbourne Park and Ladbroke Grove). Although I know Notting Hill pretty well, I didn't know the Goldborne Rd area too much and was really pleased with how cool it all was - lots of great shops, cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. So, a great base to see the rest of London, but also a cool neighbourhood all on its own.
We were lucky enough to meet Constantino and his family when we arrived - they were super nice and really helpful.....we had no problems at all, but they had thought of everything and were on hand for questions right across the weekend. A great host, thank you.
