We had a great stay at Melanie's flat in Notting Hill on our first trip to London. Melanie met us for check in and helped us get oriented to the flat and to the neighbourhood. She gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants and amenities in the Notting Hill area. The flat was spacious, quiet, and clean, with a full kitchen and all the conveniences. The bed was very comfortable (very important for me, as I am a bit of a princess with respect to beds!) and since the bedroom is at the back of the flat, it it very quiet at night. The flat is conveniently located to the Ladbroke Grove tube station (6-7 minute walk), on a quiet residential street lined with classic Georgian townhouses. Grocery stores, restaurants, and Portobello Road are all within a short walk.
Melanie was very responsive to our emails during our stay, and a huge help in planning our early morning trip to Heathrow. Overall, highly recommended as a home base for exploring this fantastic city.
