Despite a rather rocky start (avoid apartment in the lower ground floor - cold and damp) the benefit of the location and great service from staff outweighed the negatives. There was a glitch in the accommodations but the management compensated with an upgrade the second night - there were 4 of us and the 'quad' apartment was totally adequate (upgrade provided second sleeper bed with a little more sleeping space. Accommodation is relatively spacious for London area - facilities in the rooms were new and very clean. Amenities were really good for a furnished apartment - including toiletries and daily change of towels. Perfect for visiting Hyde Park, Kensington Palace and Gardens - as well as Portobello Road and environs in Notting Hill. Short bus journey to all attractions - or subway if preferred. This was a 'sister getaway' and it was great for personal travel and catering - restaurant limited to breakfast so not a good choice for business travel.
