"The flat was a lot nicer and bigger than I expected. I absolutely loved staying here!

This flat was fantastic! Very true to the description and pictures.The flat itself was spacious,clean and comfortable. The tube and bus stations were right there for quick transportation around the city. Also walking distance to portabella road with all it has to offer. We have stayed in a number of Air BnB's throughout the city and this is the one we would return to. Justine was everything you could ask for in a good host. 5 stars!!

Justine was so sweet and responded immediately if I had any questions which is so important when using Airbnb. Her home was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Justine's place is super close to Portobello street which is super funky and cool to explore with great food and shopping.

Great place to stay in London. Look no further. Close to public transportation/bus/underground. Grocery near by, great pubs, shopping, & markets. Super clean, comfy bed, a quiet getaway from the busyness of the city. Really a lovely home. Highly recommend. Thanks Justine! Would stay again.

the flat is simply fantastic, the photos are real: the position is very good, the tube is 2 minutes walking.
Justine was very fast on answering to our questions and to give us the best options to act.
We stay very well in the flat, I do suggest to consider it for a London touch experience.

As you'll see from the pictures, this is a beautiful large airy bright lounge and living area. It's very warm and in a fantastic area, bus stop directly outside and underground a 2 minute walk away. Tesco, Sainsbury's, coffee shops etc just a few seconds away. The bedroom is a cute and the lounge is so welcoming and large.

Spectacular place, fully equipped and incredibly stylish. Will definitely be staying again if it is ever free. Comfortable and attention to detail throughout. A real pleasure to stay here.

Christine
Not only does this look exactly like the pictures, it's more beautiful. This house is in the best neighborhood in London and in the best location. Justine couldn't be more helpful and responsive and everything was clean and very well stocked. I'm a former Londoner and I know the city well as well as being a regular rental guest. This is far and away one of the prettiest and nicest apartments I've ever stayed in. This will be my go to whenever I'm visiting the city. Thanks Justine. can't wait to come back.

My favorite Airbnb experience! Justine's place is a beautiful refuge and perfect base to explore London. It is convenient to many good shops and eatery's. It is fully equipped with all amenities one would need and feels like a real home. The kitchen in particular was much more well equipped than other places I have stayed.

Justine is extremely responsive and gracious. My flight was canceled after I had vacated the place and she arranged for me to be let back in late at night so I would have somewhere to rest. Absolute ANGEL!

Delightful flat in a delightful neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay in this charming, well-appointed Notting Hill apartment. Francesca's light-filled flat had everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen to a very comfortable bed. The only issue for some people might be the tight squeeze between the end of the bed and the wall, but it's manageable. All in all, the flat was just right for the two of us and great to "come home" to after traipsing around London all day.

Listing near Portobello Market
The location for this listing is great for access to public transportation, grocery stores, etc This unit was very clean and secure. There are a couple of nice couches to sit on but there is a leather chair that may be an antique, but the leather is disintegrating and did not feel comfortable to use it. Things to consider for this listing: Access to one side of bed requires one to shuffle sideways around the foot of bed as bed is only inches from the wall. WIFI was undetectable most of the time in the bedroom but fine in the living area. There is no receptacle in bath area for hairdryer.

Terrific Place in London!
We are a retired couple who stayed at the apartment for two weeks. We appreciated the spaciousness of the living room especially and the light in the apartment. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, despite it being compact. The location is terrific. The street is quiet, but a short way from a tube station that accommodates two tube lines which is helpful especially with disruptions on the tube. And, there are also busses easily available, one that goes to Charing Cross. We went to plays, museums, parks and many restaurants. We would stay here again, for sure.

Great property!
My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Justines’s property. It was beautifully decorated and very cozy. Justine was in contact with us throughout our stay to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. I had a couple of questions and she replied promptly even though she was out of town due to a death in her family. The neighborhood was quiet and a very short walk from the tube station. We would definitely stay here again!

London Holiday
Our first time in London/England and we were so pleased with the flat! Just as pictured on the website and Justine Francesca was communicative and helpful - even checking in periodically during our 10 day stay. We love the proximity to the Underground (Ladbroke Grove), Notting Hill and Portabello Road. Would stay again.

Everything about the apartment was great - comfy and cozy, great location (really close to bus and tube stops), well equipped kitchen and an owner who is very responsive to questions and concerns. We’ll definitely stay here next time we visit London.

Absolutely Lovely
I used to live in London and when I return I stay in a VRBO Flat. This is by far the best one I’ve stayed in. Usually they have flat pack furniture and no charm - Justine Francesca’s place had charm, beautiful furniture, and a perfect location near Portobello Road, the tube around the corner and everything you could need within blocks. I’ve never had a host be so attentive and caring on how my stay was going and if I needed anything. 5 stars by far and a hidden charm in a beautiful building that Inwould highly recommend.

Property is exactly as the pictures show of the inside and outside. Beautiful and well kept flat with plenty of room for two people. Great location as it’s less than 5 minutes to the closest tube station and 2 blocks from Portebello Road. Plenty of restaurants and Pubs all within walking distance from the flat. This is an exceptional place to stay!!

Crown Jewel of Notting Hill
We spent a few nights at the flat with the intention to explore a different neighborhood in London. This flat exceeded our expectation in every aspect - convenient location using public transportation, in the middle of Notting Hill, close to Kensington, beautiful and tasteful home decoration, super comfortable queen size bed and day bed, plus a very responsive host. When we visit London, we will book with Justine again.

We can’t thank Justine enough for the beautiful flat. This was hands down our best vacation/holiday ever. The flat was everything we ever imagined our first stay in London, England would be. It is so convenient to trains, buses, restaurants and stores. Everything at our finger tips. An absolute gem of a flat and a wonderful hostess!

Great communication, safe, pretty
A very elegant, romantic first floor flat on a lovely quiet street. Great communication with the owner, there was an event going on so it would have made it complicated but because of her great planning and openness, we had no problems at all. Walking distance to bus and tube stations and Portobello Road Market. The flat has lots of vintage charm but the bathroom and appliances are up-to-date.
