Having read the reviews & seeing the score, I was bracing myself for an “okay to goodish” experience. Located in the heart of the very desirable area of Notting Hillgate, albeit close to a main road, it is beautifully decorated to a high standard. Although quite small, every effort seems to have been made to maximise the space available creating a spacious feel and although equipped sparsely, it does have all you need. I had feared that it might have endless stairs but the short flight to the door and the longer one to my studio on the second floor(counting the steps to the main door as the first) were ok for me with large suitcases but might be a problem if one had loads of luggage and wasn’t feeling energetic or fit. I think I got a rare bargain and suspect the rate is usually much higher and availability very rare.
