Nicholas's apartment was amazing. It was spacious (the master bedroom was positively palatial), very stylishly decorated and well appointed. The apartment was on the 5th floor and serviced by a lift. Importantly, it was very quiet.
Its location in Notting Hill was exceptional - magnificent views over Ladbroke Square Garden, surrounded by very attractive tree lined streets and only a few minutes walk to Notting Hill Gate Underground station, Portobello Road market and the shops and cafes on Westbourne Grove.
In a nutshell, a first class property in a first class location.
