Stefano was very welcoming in the sense that he provided all necessary information to me before arrival [he was not in town when I stayed at his place]. He made clear all the necessary directions and house rules. The apartment is clean and well maintained. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, walking distance to two tube stations: Hanger Lane and Park Royal. There are no nearby large grocery stores, but the Polish Sklep, just 5-minutes walk away is very good, and has all the basic items one needs to cook all meals at home. The beds are comfortable, and the heating system is excellent.
