I stayed at this flat for around 2 and a half months. I loved it!

You have to be willing to make the steep hike of stairs to get to the fourth floor. :) After 2 and a 1/2 months of all the walking and stairs in London, my legs feel great.

The apartment is incredibly convenient. There are bus stops a block away, 23/228/52/492. For the tube, the Hammersmith and Circle Line is about a 5 block walk north and the Holland Park or Notting Hill Gate line is about a 15-20 min walk south of the apartment.

There are grocery stores and pharmacies quite close on Portobello rd. Tons of food and shopping. I never felt like I was too far from anything I needed.

Nikki was a fabulous host. Very quick to respond, very kind and helpful.

The only CONS to this place:

The street noise can be a bit much at times.
Fireworks go off a block away for no reason sometimes. (People love fireworks here).
The washer and dryer work fine but the spin cycle is very loud. I wouldn't dry things just so my neighbors wouldn't have to deal with the floor/ceiling shaking. Also the cycles take forever and once it's locked, you can unlock it. So I tended to use the gentle cycle and airdry my clothes.

PROS:
The building itself is very quite. Only heard people at a party once my entire time there and even then it was over by 11.
Gorgeous setting
The reno is quirky and fun. You definitely feel home.
Tons of storage
Water pressure and temp are excellent. Never had a problem.
Great location.

Highly recommend!!!!
