We had a fantastic stay at Michael's flat in Kensal Green. As it is situated on Harrow Road, the street is a busy one. However, the ambient noise from cars passing by was never bothersome. Access to public transportation is extremely convenient as the bus stop, the underground station, and the overground station are all within reasonable walking distance. There are plenty of delicious places to eat and grab drinks near the flat without having to use the public transportation systems, as well. As far as groceries, Sainsbury's was at most a ten minute walk from the flat. It is not hard to walk there and pick up a few things, but if you're looking to purchase a lot at once to stock the kitchen for your stay, I would suggest delivery. The home itself is very cozy and a wonderfully peaceful place to return to after an exciting day in London! Michael is a great host and I highly recommend his property!
