The place had the charm that comes from down-at-the-heels Ikea, where the cabinets are chipped and doors don't close properly. There were ants in the kitchen and living room. Drains didn't work. The internet dropped. (The host actually asked me to stay in to be available to let servicemen in to make repairs, but then, fortunately, showed up himself to work on these issues). There was tea in the cupboard, but no sugar, salt, pepper...The flat isn't really in Notting Hill, it's actually Holland Park, which is an equally nice neighbourhood, except it's down by the Grenfell end of the road. I wouldn't call the flat or the neighbourhood "stylish." The tube stations are a long walk; cabs are scarce. On the positive side, the flat is light and airy. The outdoor area is nice. The bed is good. The linens were fine. Towels were plentiful. There were enough hangers. It was great to have the washing machine. The host didn't give me entry instructions until the day before, but they were easy to follow. Communications were good. Overall, not the quality lodging I expect from VRBO.
