This garden flat in Notting Hill is truly amazing - we really enjoyed our stay! The furniture in the flat is good quality and the bedding in the bedroom was lovely with a super comfortable bed and pillows. Fantastic high ceilings, very clean on arrival and even some fresh flowers when we walked in which was a lovely touch. But the real gem here is the shared private garden that the flat backs on to. Not only do you have your own terrace with seating but the back gate opens up to the shared private gardens which was much bigger than I expected - incredible established trees, a playground and a lovely natural looking informal garden with places to sit and not busy at all. I loved walking around here in the morning with my coffee hearing the crunching of the gravel under my footsteps. This garden gives you a real oasis to relax in and recharge after the hustle and bustle of busy London days - the pictures do not do it justice - it is beautiful.
There are great coffee and food options literally a a few minutes walk away and you are moments away from the Portobello Road markets by foot. Our family of 3 (two adults and a 14 year old) stayed during a heatwave with temperatures in the late 30's - we were able to stay cool and comfortable, even though there is no air conditioning (not usually a need for it I am sure!). The area feels very safe and is easy to negotiate your way around - my 14 year old was off shopping on her own in no time. Connections to transport (bus, tube and even e-bikes) was simple and easy.
We had great communication from the co-host Carol who was very responsive to the few little issues we had. The flat was still in set-up phase when we stayed but Carol stayed responsive throughout and sorted us out with whatever we needed - thank you!
We know London is not an inexpensive place to stay but if you are able to afford this property you won't be disappointed - it is a fabulous place to spend your time. Thanks again for having us!
