My grown son and I were very happy with this apartment, and the host (Lee) was very responsive and helpful.
We had a brief problem locating the key when we first arrived, but it turned out to be our fault. Lee had provided the information to us on the airbnb website, but we had missed seeing the picture he provided. So we called Lee and he immediately told us how to locate the key. So if you are arriving late night or early morning, be sure to look on the airbnb website for the picture Lee provides regarding the key.
The apartment is in a great location for exploring London. It is walking distance (about 7 minutes) from the Notting Hill Gate tube stop and the High Street Kensington tube stop. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance. There is a small Sainsbury grocery store just across the street, and a Whole Foods Market a few minutes walk away.
The apartment is newly renovated, so it is freshly painted and has new carpet and appliances. This apartment would be great for 2 single people, 2 couples, or for a family with 1-3 school age children. Since the apartment has a lot of stairs, it is not suitable for people with mobility issues or for very young children who could fall down the stairs. The ground level floor is the private entryway, the first floor has 2 bedrooms, the second floor has the bathroom, kitchen, and living area, and there is a third level up to an alcove above the living area that has a desk and a mattress on the floor for 1 person (it looked big enough for an adult.)
The front bedroom is large, but faces a busy street, so it has a good bit of noise from vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Wearing earplugs allowed for a good night sleep in this bedroom. The back bedroom is much smaller, doesn't face a street, and is thus much quieter.
On a hot summer day, the living area can get rather warm late in the afternoon. Leaving the blinds closed while you are gone from the apartment keeps the room cooler. There was also a small electric fan available to use.
