Deniz è stata gentilissima ed efficientissima.
Grazie Mancava il bidet! Ma questo è un problema prettamente per noi italiani
- Phoebe (8/5): Great location and great space for a family of four - Location was perfect, right near Nottinghill and Tube Stairs with heavy bags
- Ingrid (9/5): Great apartment in a superb location! - Location was great, the apartment was beautiful and very clean
- DAIGO (10/5): 地元に溶け込める環境 - 立地が最高。地下鉄も近く、ポートベッロ商店街が目の前。 タオルが硬い。
- Glenda (10/5): Best location for entertainment , bars and public transport. - The spacious unit was fabulous as was location and double glazed windows for noise.
- christine (10/5): -
- Charlotte (6/5): Good location, but stay marred by unclean arrival and no internet. - The apartment was in a good location and the beds were comfortable, though not outstanding. The living room and kitchen were pleasant and functional. However, there were several serious issues that made our stay difficult. When we arrived, the apartment had not been cleaned and we were asked to leave for several hours. This happened right in the middle of carnival, when more than two million people were on the streets — so after dragging our luggage through the crowds, we had nowhere to go and ended up stuck among drunk partygoers until the apartment was ready.
On top of that, there was no internet at all for the three nights we stayed. Smaller details also added to the frustration: the coffee machine only used very specific pods that couldn’t be bought locally, and the showerhead needed cleaning.
Overall, while the apartment itself had potential, the lack of cleanliness on arrival, no internet, and the poorly timed inconvenience during carnival made the experience very disappointing.
- Wendy (10/5): Lovely spacious apartment in a fab location - Gorgeous property in a perfect location Only thing would be there are no curtains in the living space that you can close. My daughter slept there and it was very bright.
- Sarah (9/5): Great holiday accommodation - Great size for a family of four. Nothing
- Geraldine (10/5): A cozy, clean and modern Apartment - The interior decorations are modern and have a prestige feel. The apartment is fully equipped even come with hair curler and dehumidifier. Location is super convenient too. Tube station, supermarket, restaurants and the bustling Portobello market are just minutes away . My family enjoy staying here for two night. I strongly recommend this apartment to those who visit London. None
- Clare (7/5): Good accommodation for families with teenagers - Clean, comfortable lounge and good for family with two rooms and four beds. Would have been helpful to have a little milk for overnight stays.
- Jo (9/5): Fab apartment for short stay in Central London, would recommend and use again. Thanks - Great communication from the host and how to access the apartment. Great location and very central.
- Clare (10/5): - The apartment was great. It had everything we needed and it was a great location to get around London, with easy access to transport links, eateries, Portobello Market and grocery stores. We had great communication from Deniz. The Turkish restaurant downstairs was great, as was the local pub, The Elgin. We had a wonderful stay! It was all great. The stairs could be challenging if you had mobility issues, particularly with luggage; however we didn't find it a problem.
- Chloe (9/5): Would definitely stay again, great location and cosy apartment - The location was great, a really nice sized apartment, Deniz was really lovely as well Nothing really to fully dislike, it was the height of the summer heat so unbelievably hot, no AC but plenty of fans were provided!
- Caren (8/5): Lovely property in a great location. Would stay here again. - Location to Tube
It’s exactly as described and pictured
Cleanliness
Great communication with property manager Lack of extra toilet paper
- Marjory (9/5): Superb -
- Carol (9/5): Portobello Lovely Living - Very convenient to transport, cafes and Portobello markets. Very comfortable, well maintained apartment. Good communication with host. No power points in bathroom. Could not find a broom to sweep up. No toaster. Black out curtains would make it 5 star.
- Laurie (8/5): Very good - Comfortable beds! Great location.
- Alishea (8/5): Very good -
- Mike (10/5): Perfect for a stay in Notting Hill - The location was brilliant close to lovely pub, The Elgin.
Tube station and restaurants All was great
- Joanne (8/5): All in all a good time away - Apartment is a few minutes walk from Ladbroke Grove tube station, so ideally situated for getting into central London. Portobello Road is a short walk from the apartment and you can easily walk to Notting Hill. Minimal noise from the busy road outside. We did find the apartment quite cold, and used a small portable electric heater to warm up the lounge on one of the evenings. Some of the radiators didn’t get hot, could need bleeding. Curtains in the lounge can’t be pulled properly, one of our party slept in the lounge and it didn’t really bother her but it might bother some people, as the buildings opposite mean people can see across and into the apartment. Could also benefit from a couple of lamps in the twin bedroom and a non slip mat in the shower as we did find the shower base very slippy and had to use a towel so we didn’t have any accidents. As mentioned by some people, there are steps up to the apartment, not good when carrying luggage up and down, need to be careful.
- Scott (8/5): Apartment with Great location in Notting Hill and great facilities. - Location near tube and markets was excellent, the apartment facilities were great and host was great. Also awesome Turkish restaurant underneath the apartment. Stairs are very steep and apartment up 4 flights of stairs so difficult to carry large bags.
- Goran (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent communication with Deniz.
Very nice apartment fully equipped and the great location. N/a
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): Will use again for sure - Clean, well presented and perfect size for what we needed Na
- Therese (10/5): Perfect london accommodation - The location was perfect. Train station andl eating and drinking amenities right there. Portobello markets a short stroll away.
- Liane (10/5): Great location & perfectly clean - Great location with a tube station just a stones throw from the apartment. The place was clean and cosy with all the amenities required for a fabulous stay. Nothing
- Anne (8/5): Great place for short visit. Location excellent - Location was great.
Reasonable size apartment
Kitchen was well equipped. Stairs difficult with large bags however we were aware of this when booking as apartment is on 2nd floor.
A second set of keys would be handy.
- Louise (9/5): Amazing - loved it - comfortable and great location - Plenty of space and everything needed for a comfortable stay The steps up were slightly challenging with heavy suitcases.
Slightly warm and stuffy - fans helpful.
- Julieta (10/5): Family of 5 - The apartament was wonderful, super clean, has all the amenities, check-in was very easy, beds were confortable, water pressure was great, we had no issues and had a lovely stay! Deniz was always super responsive. Great location, close to underground and busses, pubs and restaurants and just a step away from Portobello Road. This is not within the host's control I'm sure, but I'm super sensitive to noises and if there are people in the upper floor you will hear every step, unfortunately for us, during our 3 night stay it seemed that people were tap dancing all night long..
- Danielle (9/5): Breezy, charming and convenient stay in London - The accommodations were just right for our family of five. Well-equipped and comfortable, we loved the character of the apartment and the ability to explore the immediate neighborhood, as well as London in general from this location. Plenty of great options for food and public transportation right at the doorstep. Communication and check-in was straightforward. We understood in advance that there were steps involved in accessing the apartment, but some may find that a challenge to staying here.
- Doyle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marion (9/5): We had a great time exploring London and returning to a comfortable home where we could relax - Location was perfect for Underground We didn’t like there wasn’t a plug for hair dryer near the hall mirror
We used the mirror surround round the bed
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Bedside lamp not working, bulbs missing from ceiling lights, no toaster.
- Sarah (8/5): Good location.. spacious apartment… clean - Spacious Stairs
- Kathleen (7/5): Good - Renovations happening while we were there. Would have appreciated being notified ahead of time, so we could have made other plans.
It was very warm. There were fans, but no air conditioning.
- Kelly (10/5): First choice for next trip - Excellent location modern well equipped apartment. You must try the restaurant downstairs too
- Julie (8/5): The accommodation, was perfectly adequate for our stay. My son and his partner, would book it again. I wouldnt, stay the - The location was good, close to the underground, great selection of eateries within walking distance. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The 46 stairs to reach it! The bathroom sink, took absolutely ages to drain, no shower mat, making the walk in shower lethal. Scaffolding outside, with exterior work going on (necessary I know), but the curtains in the living room, didn’t fully close, so early morning tea had to be taken with an audience!
- Bernice (10/5): My family and l thoroughly enjoyed the apartment and it's location. - Location was perfect for shops, markets and train station. Nothing major but perhaps thicker curtains on the windows to prevent the light coming through.
- Theresa (10/5): Lovely spacious apartment in great part of town. - Very lovely large extremely clean apartment with beautiful big windows. Well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds! Nice location to enjoy Portobello Road. Great restaurants and pubs near by. Close to subway to travel to other locals in London! Nothing. Travelled with elderly mother 83. Had many stairs to reach apartment. Be mindful if you have mobility issues.
- Pam (9/5): Excellent accommodation - would highly recommmend! - Great location for exploring Portobello, Notting Hill, Holland Park and with Ladbroke Grove tube station and a major bus stop 5 mins walk from the apartment, London is literally on your doorstep!
The apartment was very clean, tidy and comfortable and the kitchen equipped with all you need for light bites and breakfast.
There is a supermarket, takeaways, restaurants and bars within a couple of minutes from the apartment.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment and communication with Deniz was easy and prompt! As the flat is on the second floor, there are 7 flights of stairs to climb so if you have heavy bags, this is not ideal.
The table top ironing board was hard to use and I would recommend bringing ear plugs for both bedrooms.
It would have been great to also have lamps in each of the bedrooms too!
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandros (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johanna (9/5): Lovely apartment in a lively area - Great location - vibey area Nothing - it was great
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional - Well appointed apartment in Notting Hill No parking
- Cara (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, clean apartment. Great location. Good communication from Deniz.
We were a family of 5 with 3 adult kids, and there was plenty of room. My daughter slept on the settee in the living area, and despite other reviews, the curtains do close with a little effort.
Thank you, Deniz. There's nothing to dislike!
- Angus (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bukhari (9/5): Superb -
- Pui (9/5): Fantastic flat - Fabulous flat in a great location. Really clean, very well thought out with great facilities. It was a very comfortable place to stay and I would highly recommend it. The pillows were too big and high for me but I realise that's a very personal thing.
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - Location excellent & apartment lovely, clean, comfortable & cozy. Deniz was so helpful & responded promptly to every query. Was a pleasure to deal with. Nothing
- Sharon (8/5): Very good - The apartment was clean and cosy. The location was great and the host was really nice and ready to help and easy to communicate with. Apartment was on the second floor. Was a challenge to lug four suitcases up narrow stairs.
- Belinda (9/5): Excellent stay, so close to Portbello 😁 - Amazing location. Very clean, Deniz very helpful
- Nina (10/5): It was perfect - Deniz was very helpful and everything was perfect including location, cleanliness, big space and facilities.
- Adina (9/5): Great, I would totally recomand - The apartment was very clean, modern and comfy. One of the bedroom’s widows couldn’t be closed properly so there was a little bit cold during the night.
- Cassandra (9/5): Beautifully presented flat close to many amenities. - The location was fantastic, in a nice area very close to the tube as well as pubs, supermarkets, restaurants and fast food shops. The flat was impeccably clean with great facilities and fitted our family of 5 really well, although the fold out bed wouldn’t suit a child much bigger than our average-sized 12 year old. The only problem we came across was there was no toaster, so we made do with a sandwich press for breakfasts instead.
- Carol (9/5): Excellent - Great location and very responsive host. Very comfortable and warm, highly recommend. The main lights were very bright, a couple more lamps would make a big difference.
- Lizibee (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely well kept apartment.
Comfy beds
2min walk from tube
5min walk from Portobello market
Well equipped. Plenty of towels, toiletries, tea bags, coffee machine. Hairdryer.
Great smart tv
Comfy sofa
Shower really good, good water pressure Only thing to say for less abled people or if you have loads of bags to carry ...have to walk up a few flights of stairs to get to it.
Smaller than I expected from photos
- Pablobenson (10/5): You can't go wrong with this property - Excellent location, extremely well maintained property with all of the things you need (ironing facilities, utensils etc..) First class service and communication from the host. N/A
- Annette (8/5): Very good -
- Manuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Fabulous comfortable stay. - Contemporary spacious clean apartment in a location of our choice. All the facilities you need for a single or multiple night stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom modern with fabulous walk in shower. The host communicated promptly with entry advice on arrival, and departure instructions, and a personal touch with a 'thank you' card to welcome guests. She also left some nibbles, milk and water. We thank you Deniz for making our stay enjoyable. Convenient location for all public transport links. Not a problem for my family, but the apartment is on the second floor up several flights of stairs, which may restrict some people?
- Emma (10/5): Loved the flat and location. Very clean and close to supermarkets and public transport. Communication from the host was - Location to the tube and bus routes. Two separate bedrooms which meant we had a comfortable stay as a family of four Small thing really; towel rails would of been helpful.
- James (9/5): Excellent location and host and we would highly recommend. Pictures of the property are exactly as presented. - Excellent location close to public transport - train and bus. Portobello Road around the corner. Very nicely decorated with all amenities. Host was responsive prior for any questions. We were very lucky the property was available early on the day we arrived. If not we could have left luggage in stairwell which would have also been fine. Little touches like some chips, cookies and milk upon arrival were also great. Beds were comfortable and apartment was very clean. We were a family of 5 with 3 adult children so the 5th person would have used rollaway bed. Some hooks for towels would have been great on the back of doors in bedroom and bathroom for towels and clothes. There was no power point in bathroom for hair dryer. These are all minor as overall it was excellent and we could not rate highly enough.
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacqueline (9/5): Superb -
- Như (10/5): Exceptional - We love that the location is very convenient to connect with various bus routes. Apartment was cozy, big and clean.
- Kim (8/5): Very good - Close to everything. Really nice flat Too many stairs especially for lugging up suitcases. Would be extremely difficult for older people

- Aine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (10/5): Loved it! We will defiantly be back - Great space, clean and lovely Very warm but can’t be helped due to weather
- Oxana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (10/5): 100% perfect accommodation travelling with 2 adults a 3 kids under 10 years old - Fantastic location, cleanliness was amazing - seemed brand new, Deniz is a great communicator which made everything very easy If I'm being super critical - no air conditioning and no power outlets in the bath room. But a learning from our trip is that this was the case in every single accommodation though out the UK and France
- Gayathri (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly host and great apartment
- Noam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Super 2 bed apartment - Lovely clean apartment, very friendly and communicative owner. Close to tube station. Would stay here again.
- Nicky (10/5): A really lovely apartment in a great location! Would return in a heartbeat! - A really lovely apartment, incredibly clean, very comfortable, beautifully done. Nothing about the property itself. The communal hall was being decorated & there was a very strong smell from the wood filler. It was dealt with very quickly & effectively & no further issues.
- Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oviestar (9/5): Our stay was lovely and host was fantastic - It was a nice flat. Very stylish and beds were comfortable. I hate climbing stairs
- Niklas (9/5): We had a really nice time, and will definitely be coming back! - an excellent location with all the amenities you can ask for. The flat is perfect for a family wanting to explore London. A bit noise street, but nothing out of the ordinary.
- Samantha (10/5): A wonderful and comfortable place to stay. Home away from Home. we cannot wait to visit again. - The immaculate furnishing, the exceptional comfort and the incredible customer care. Absolutely nothing.
- Tara (10/5): Loved everything about it! - Fabulous location. Spotlessly clean. Host was communicative and welcoming. Loved having some food bits in the cupboards. The pillows were very comfortable. Would love somewhere to hang towels, like hooks on the doors. Would also love some softer lighting in the kitchen and bedrooms, like floor lamps.
- Anonymous (10/5): really lovely apartment in a nice location - modern bright clean needs a mirror in each bedroom
- Lydia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lorna (7/5): Slightly disappointing - Lovely apartment with quality furnishings Entrance areas let it down. No bed set up for 5th guest and no sheet available so our son had to sleep on the sofa. Church bells rang for long time at midnight. Welcome pack was a bag of Mini Cheddars and a bag of crisps, but no milk etc and we found some tea bags that seemingly had been left by previous occupants.
We’ve waited to stay at this property for over a year but sadly will not be returning.
- Sarah (8/5): Very good - Very clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped.
