The room is spacious and comfortable and the apartment is clean and was comfortably warm when I visited in December 2019. There is a small fridge in the room, a small microwave/grill, an iron and a TV, and there is access to the washing machine in the kitchen. I believe that guests may use the kitchen facilities but I think Akhita is a vegetarian and prefers not to have meat cooked in the kitchen. I was driving and unfortunately arrived during rush hour so it took a very long time getting through the rush-hour traffic jam. I left on Sunday morning and it was extremely quick and easy to reach the M1 for the next leg of my trip. I am not sure if there is parking nearby without payment. I have a disabled-driver blue badge and so was able to park near the apartment in residents' parking spaces. Public transport is good. It is only a few minutes' walk to Harlesden station on the Bakerloo line, with frequent trains to Paddington, Marylebone, Baker Street etc - around 20 minutes into central London. There is a pub a little way past the station, which does nice food up to 9pm and has a fairly pleasant atmosphere although it seems to get rather raucous on Saturday night. There are one or two small grocery/food shops nearby and a cafe called Acton Nights. This cafe does not serve alcohol and when I was there, the clientele was exclusively male, and most of the customers were smoking qalyâns (hookahs). I felt quite comfortable and enjoyed a meal of home-made kebabs and rice with a side dish of aubergine and courgettes in a tomato-based sauce along with a cup of black tea for about £10. It is possible that some women may not feel comfortable there but I saw nothing to suggest that women were not just as welcome as men.
