Location: You’re within 7-10 minutes from 3 different tube stops (Central and Circle Lines) and even more bus stops. There are 2 chain grocery stores within a 2 block radius and the Bayswater neighborhood is easily walkable. Cafes, restaurants (a selection of middle eastern and Indian food especially), pharmacies, and souvenir shops line the street. Within an easy 10-12 minute walk to Hyde Park.
Walk 15 minutes on Westbourne Grove to reach the Notting Hill neighborhood.
The room and apartment unit is right next to the building door, so you might hear neighbors coming in/out. But fewer stairs to climb!
Hosts: Very communicative and responsive bookings manager and the hosts were friendly and kind.
You’ll share the 3 bedroom apartment with other people, including the hosts. It is very private and quiet.
The hosts respected my privacy and were flexible with me checking in a few hours early (given enough notice).
The space: Very clean and spacious for a solo traveler or couple. The full bed can fit 2 people and was very comfortable with the mattress topper.
Amenities: You can use the host’s Netflix account on the flat screen tv. Wi-Fi was fast and stable. The bathroom is split between a toilet and shower room. Both are very clean. Great water pressure in shower, the hot water runs on the hotter side. They’ll clear out a row in the fridge for any groceries of yours.
Overall: Very reasonable and affordable price for central London. Friendly and communicative hosts. Clean, comfortable, quiet - would stay here again!
