Amazing!
I stayed in this flat in Notting Hill for six weeks in 2019, from May to June. I absolutely loved the place. It has high ceilings and is crisply decorated. It is wonderfully appointed, with everything you need when you get here--from pots and pans, to dishes, to dish towels, to bath towels, to even extra power converters in the closet--I was able to start living from day one. The host of this property left tons of information which included not only how to get on the wifi connection, but the best places to eat nearby and how to get around. It was a wonderful entrance to the UK, where I'd be working for a month and a half. The owner of this flat lives on site and she was an absolute gem, willing to answer any questions I had. Additionally, you cannot beat this location! You're just a 10 minute walk from Portobello Road, which has great shopping and a wonderful street market every weekend. Go down Ledbury, which is right outside your front door, and you get some of the upscale shops of Notting Hill. Likewise, there are two convenient tube stations (the Westbourne Park station and the Notting Hill Gate station) within 7 to 15 minutes walk from the flat.
The beds (there is one bedroom but a very comfortable fold out couch) were extremely comfortable and the building is very secure. There is a locking door on the outside before you get to your front door. I felt incredibly safe here. There is a TV hooked up and ready, and the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. I spent many nights de-stressing in the bathtub with a soak. In short, I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you need a "home away from home" that is beautiful, convenient to two tube stations, very safe and secure, and has all the amenities you need to cook your own food, wash your clothes, and hit the ground running in London, this is the place for you.
