Matt and Lola's place is convenient to move around the notting hill area and there are quite a few restaurant options around. The hosts are very helpful and kind. Whenever i needed to come in contact with them they were there to assist.
So i would recommend this air bnb to tourists that want to stay for a few days and explore the area.
However, i would not suggest this place to anyone that is planning to stay for more than 4-5 days or to a party larger than 2 people. The place is too small, as it is a studio, and the upper floor is basically useless as the ceiling is too low and the matress is too hard. So you end up utilizing only the ground floor. The sofa bed was too hard to sleep on so we had to bring the mattress from the upper floor, place it on the sofa, and then place another mattress topper on top.
Additionally, i wasn't very comfortable with the cleanliness of the place..the bed sheets and the matress protector had a lot of stains on them, the rugs were quite old, dusty and stained, and the kitchen wasn't properly cleaned either.
The other thing i must point out is that the studio is located on the ground floor. So whenever you open a window people can see inside. If you dont open the window, you dont see anythig outside because the glass is blured for privacy purposes. Additionally, facing the air bnb is a fire station which makes a lot of noise. The syrens and the blue lights go on and off, sometimes more than once an hour. So be prepared for that.
Although the hosts are great in some aspects as i pointed out, there are other things that certainly need to be changed. I understand that some things are out of their control such as the noise. But the cleanliness of the flat and the furnishings have to be improved and renewed.
