The listing is in a basement with eight steps down to the entrance, which 1 guest found awkward with luggage. Two guests mentioned the second bedroom feels tight, and two others experienced heating or cooling issues, but these concerns are scattered across the reviews and don't reflect a widespread problem. This is a solid choice for the Notting Hill location.

What the stars hide
The listing describes the lower ground floor location but some guests say they would have chosen differently if the basement aspect were clearer upfront. The dark stairway and limited natural light surprise people accustomed to street-level flats.
The heater controller does not manage temperature well, and the second bedroom lacks a radiator and gets cold. Winter guests may need to rely on space heaters or fans to stay comfortable.
The flat sits 8-9 steps below street level behind black gates. The listing warns to leave luggage at the top, which adds friction to check-in and checkout.
The double bed in the second bedroom (55 x 74.80 inches) is narrow for two teenage guests or adults, and the room itself feels small. Guest comfort depends on group size and age mix.
