We loved "our" little flat. Maggie and her girls were super accommodating; we were met with some basic groceries and a few treats, they told us how to find the grocers, where to get coffee and baked goods. And Maggie was available should we have needed her the whole 12 days. The flat is so comfortable and the amenities are such that we felt as though we actually lived there which was what I was looking for on this holiday. The location is PRIME.

If you have younger children, the Princess Diana Playground is your neighborhood park. Our eight-year-old boy loved his little room in the front of the flat.

As far as the noise others mention-it is an old building, it is London after all. The lovely gentleman who lives above has squeaky floor boards, to be expected. We didn't find it all that troublesome. If you are sensitive, take earplugs. What you don't have is street noise as you are tucked into a little cul-de-sac so you do not hear people on the streets tumbling home from pubs or traffic sounds that you can get on major thoroughfares and at most London hotels.

A plea to other tenants: there is a risk of London councils shutting down short term lets in this city. One prime complaint is from neighbors about rude, destructive guests. Can you imagine paying Notting Hill prices for your home and having to deal with ignorant tourists? Be respectful, quiet, follow rubbish rules and pretend you actually live there and care what your neighbors think. Simple.

We would stay with Maggie again in a heartbeat. We left yesterday and I am already a bit nostalgic...
