Antoine's place is fantastic. Really spacious, bright and airy and well decorated. It's only about a 5-7 minute walk from Royal Oak underground and a 10-15 min walk from Notting Hill Gate or Bayswater stations. Portobello Road is nearby as are many restaurants, cafes and grocery stores.
There are a few flight of stairs to climb but nothing too difficult. Well worth the lovely view of the church and the city (from the terrace). The neighborhood seemed quiet and safe.
I wish we could have stayed more than the three nights. Thanks Antoine !! I hope to be back again soon someday.
