David Kennedy, Australia, April 2018: "We have stayed in this flat twice, most recently in April 2018. The flat is very comfortable, facilities are excellent and ‘homely’. The flat is very conveniently located for shops and restaurants. The location is convenient for major educational and research centres – British Library, galleries, museums. Major attractions of London are nearby – the Paddington and Regent’s Canals and Little Venice, Edgeware Road, Kensington and Hyde Parks; Buckingham Palace, The War Rooms, Piccadilly, Oxford Street; etc. Anna Christian is a delightful owner and been very attentive to anything we need."

Anna's is such a lovely flat, in such a beautiful, elegant street... London at its best. I spent there two months and it was comfortable, cosy, with everything you need to really live there and -something very important for me- a great place to work, with very good wifi and even a printer which was really useful. My daughter spent some days with me, and was delighted at the little garden, so cute and nice. Also, she had her own room and own bathroom: the fact that each bedroom has its own is a real plus. The flat is near the underground and many buses, perfectly communicated, it has supermarkets and services very close to it, plus many interesting things within walking distance: the quaint Portobello Market, posh Westbourne Grove, with its many restaurants and shops; Kensington Palace and Gardens are barely a 20 minute walk. Anna was always reachable and eager to help and advice. Excellent Helen 12/13/2020 2:52:00 AM
We spent a week in London this past summer and had a wonderful time in Anna's flat! It has two full bedrooms, two baths, a perfectly outfitted kitchen (with everything we could have wanted or needed), and lots of books and artwork, which made us feel right at home! The flat is a 10-15-minute walk from the Notting Hill tube station or a five-minute walk from Royal Oak; a ten-minute walk to Portobello Road. Perfect location for all our outings. Anna also left descriptions of nearby restaurants, grocery stores and other amenities. She, herself, was also lovely to work with - everything went really smoothly. We highly recommend her home!

We stayed in Annas flat for four nights and had a great time. The flat is wonderful; her antiques, the flowers in the backyard, the flowers in the front yard made us just want to stay on for longer. Not only is this flat located in the most attractive area in London, but it is just a lovely home with lots of charm. After days in one of the most interesting cities in the world, it is amazing to be able to return to the homely warmth of this flat. While London is vibrant with energies and can at times feel draining, Annas flat is the perfect stay to put up your feet and relax. In addition, the flat is equipped in such a practical manner that nothing is missed while there. The location could not be better with access to everything from buses to underground stations, and any shops you might need. Everything is in walking distance and it's a lovely area for a walk. A nice bonus is how wonderful it is to communicate with the host, Anna. She did absolutely everything she could to make us to feel at home. We can honestly say we have never had a better time in London thanks to Anna and her home, and we cannot wait to return. We would give the full stay not only excellent, but an excellent A plus and plus. Simply a gem! Excellent Maria 3/11/2019 4:33:00 PM
Anna is a wonderful host with a stunning home from home. We felt so comfortable during our recent stay we didn't want to leave. The flat was spacious for us as a family of four and well equipped including lots of fascinating antiques that give the place a real charm. We were lucky enough to stay in the summer and enjoyed relaxing in the pretty garden with the flowers all in bloom. The flat is ideally located to tour around Notting Hill and transport to other areas is really easy on the tube/and or buses which are 2 minutes walk away and come very frequently. The flat is within a stones throw of some excellent eateries; we loved going to The Durbar for a true English curry, The Prince Bonnapart for drinks and the wonderful cafe Hernandez for croissants in the mornings. There's a great selection of shops nearby; Portobello Road on a Saturday morning was a real experience and the smart shops on Ledbury Road are great for a leisurely browse. We'll definitely be back to stay in the future. There's so much more we want to see and do in London. Thank you Anna for a wonderful stay. Excellent Nell 9/2/2018 9:48:00 PM
We have just spent one week in August with our two kids and we would like to thank Anna so much for everything. We have felt as if being at home. We have had everything we have needed up to the last detail.

We wish we had had more time to read the excellent books she has. We had great expectations after meeting her and seeing the house for the first time but the experience has been way over them for the whole family. Even at Notting Hill Carnival time we have been able to both relax and chill out at the house and also enjoy the sounds, the colours and the atmosphere. We would love to come back to her cosy and charming house.
