Lou and Justin’s spacious Notting Hill flat is a remarkable value in the pricey London rentals market. The fully renovated space features two bedrooms, one modern bath, a large lounge with a “kitchen wall” to one side, sofa, chairs, dining set, and a flat screen TV; appliances include both a dishwasher and washer/dryer — I used everything and it all worked well! In addition, Lou was exceptionally responsive and quickly brought me a couple of things I needed for my one-month stay; communications with my hosts were great, throughout!
The location of the flat is extremely convenient; it’s roughly 125 yards from the Notting Hill Gate tube station (on the central line), and there are Waitrose and Tesco grocery stores almost directly across the street; many restaurants and stores are close at hand, and famous Portobello Road is just five minutes away. This is a primary route for police/ambulance traffic, so you should be prepared to hear lots of sirens during the day; however, with the double windows closed, you won’t be bothered. One other thing to note: the flat is on the third floor and there are multiple flights of stairs to climb, so pack light! (;-)
Overall, this flat is much larger and nicer than most comparably priced properties; both for value and location (as well as the hosts!) I can recommend it strongly.
