The apartment was well-located in a charming neighborhood with lots going on, but also quiet. The space was stylish, clean, bright and comfortable. The host was friendly. communicative, and allowed us to check in several hours early. When we travel, we like to shop local and cook meals in the flat. This is not the best place for that because the kitchen doesn't have the basics (salt, pepper, olive oil). That being said, with the Portabello Market so close, it wasn't really necessary to cook, as you can buy delicious & inexpensive prepared food to go.
