Great location, wonderful host â but beds need improvement
We had a lovely stay at this flat in Notting Hill. The location is truly fantastic â close to charming shops, great restaurants, and just a short walk to the Underground. Itâs much quieter than staying in the heart of the city, which was perfect for our family. There are several playgrounds nearby, and the flat itself was clean, comfortable, and well equipped.Adriana was an outstanding host â responsive, kind, and so helpful throughout our stay. Canât say enough good things about her!We were there during an unexpected heat wave, and while the flat doesnât have air conditioning, fans were provided and helped us manage.Our only real complaint was the beds. The pull-out couch was unfortunately unusable â our kids each tried it and found it too uncomfortable to sleep on. One even ended up sleeping in two chairs pushed together on the last night. The mattresses in the bedrooms were thin, quite firm, and you could feel the springs. They were also very noisy with any movement, which made it hard to sleep through the night.If the beds were upgraded, this would be a five-star stay without question. Still, a great place overall in a beautiful neighborhood.
This was our ninth stay. Great apartment, great neighborhood. Excellent restaurants, pubs, shopping within easy walking distance. Bus stops just steps away & underground a ten minute walk. Adrianne and/or Paul will promptly deal with any concerns. Looking forward to a tenth visit.
This was our 8th stay in the apartment. We love it. Great pubs and restaurants near by. Buses just steps away. Underground a 7-10 minute walk. Paul and his family are very responsive. It is our favorite place to stay.
The flat was perfect for our family with comfortable furniture and beds and enough room to spread out a bit. The check-in process was seamless with our host, Paul, coordinating a meeting for check-in and showing off the amenities. The bathroom and shower were excellent, and all bedding and towels were provided. We had a very comfortable stay. The flat itself is located a short walk to the underground, and from there anywhere you want to go throughout London and beyond. There are also plenty of shops and dining opportunities in the immediate area. It's an ideal flat to explore all that London offers and I would rate the "Location and Neighborhood" 10 stars if I could. Paul, thank you for being a great host and sharing such a wonderful flat.
The apartment was very nice. The manager was accessible and accommodating. The living room was very nice. The main bedroom was an adequate size and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was on the small side. The shower tub was not great. Water pressure was low and it was tricky to exit the shower. There was nothing to hold on to when stepping out of the tub/shower. The location was very central to Notting Hill. Portobello Road and the other main roads were an easy and short walk. The Metro station was less than 10 minutes away. We would consider this apartment again if our plans bring us back.
Really appreciated returning to the apartment after a day of sightseeing. Located in a great neighborhood that is quiet and charming. Lots of market and dining options available within easy walking distance. Apartment is comfortable and well equipped.
Our family of 5 (two adults, two teens and one child) loved the wonderful Notting Hill location. Gorgeous neighborhood, convenient to shops, grocery and tube. Would happily return!
The unit was great. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The neighborhood was fantastic. So many shops and restaurants within walking distance. A Tube station within an 8 minute walk, or so. The only thing that surprised us was that the building was in the midst of a construction project and we were frustrated we werenât told about this ahead of time. It only amounted to some cluttered and dusty hallways and one morning of noise that started before the teens wanted to be woken up. Also, the views out the windows were blocked with scaffolding. The contact person ,Adriana, was pleasant to work with.
Loved our stay at this Notting Hill flat. Great proximity to the tube, the neighborhood is quiet at night and there's a nice variety of shopping and restaurants close by. Plenty of space for our family of 4!
Our favorite place. Paul and Adrianne are excellent hosts. The location is great. Buses are a few steps away and the Underground is a ten minute walk. Good restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops in the neighborhood. Great residents in the neighborhood. Our seventh stay and a great one as always.
We stayed in this property for 4 nights (my wife and I, our son, and our 7 year old grandson).
Our one agreement with the other reviewers is that this is an excellent location. You can walk to the Tube and many restaurants and shops.
Other than that, the apartment was not clean (the rug in the living room was really dirty), including some of the silverware and dishware. The beds were really uncomfortable (and the "throw pillows" were also filthy). The garbage disposal didn't work at all. It was nice that they provided a Nespresso machine....but no pods. And there didn't seem to be any place to buy them. Would it have been too much trouble to leave some coffee for us?
The bathroom was also really a bit cramped....the toilet is right up against the bathtub. I would think a large person would have a great deal of difficulty maneuvering in there.
Maybe I'm just spoiled, as we usually stay in nice hotels. Although the price was good by London standards, I would definitely not stay at this place again. It was shabby and looked like it was furnished at a garage sale. Many of the drawers were difficult to open, and it was just not what I would call a "nice place".
This was our sixth stay at the apartment. It has an excellent location. Close to transportation, shops, pubs, etc. Adrianne and Paul are very pleasant, responsive and helpful. We love it there and will be back next year.
Check in with Adrianne was super easy! The lift for our luggage was a huge plus. The place has everything you need in a beautiful quiet street yet so accessible to restaurants and shops. Our kids already want to go back to stay there. They have everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay.
We enjoyed our 5 night stay in this wonderful Flat. It was extremely clean. The furniture is very cute and cozy. I loved the fact there were was a washer, dryer, plenty of extra sheets, towels, hand soap, dishwashing tablets, and plenty of fans in each room. The location is perfect!!! Cute shops, restaurants, 5 -7 minute walk to the tube. The flat is in walking distance of Kennsington Palace and Hyde Park. Great communication with Paul and Adrienne when it came to check in. As we didn't land until 8:30 pm.
I highly recommend staying here and would stay here again.
Paul and Adrianna were very accommodating right from the very start of our trip. We loved the apartment and location! All the reviews are accurate - easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and beautiful strolls through neighborhoods. The beds are comfy and the area quiet - the perfect retreat after busy days! The fully appointed kitchen with laundry made was much appreciated. A great place for a family of 4 to enjoy and the perfect location to enjoy Notting Hill.
The flat was perfect for our family of four. Close to the Tube, shops, pubs, and the Portobello Road Market. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.
