Location, location, location! 10 minutes from Hammersmith and Shepheards Bush tube stations (266 and 260/207 buses respectively) gets you anywhere in London within 40 minutes. Fantastic ethnic restaurants 5 minutes walk from the apartment, Thai, Persian, Turkish, Lebanese, pub food etc. At Shepheards Bush, there is Westfield mall, one of the most upmarket malls in the world, easily competing with Singapore or Dubai. The apartment is very comfortable and has its own on suite kitchenette and bathroom. There is even a washing machine to do your own laundry (and we had 4 beautiful days so all the clothes dried out no problem.) We didn't meet Julien but the other flatmates were very friendly and helpful. Thanks Joachim and Olivier. While we didn't use it, the house has a lovely little garden, which I could easily see myself relaxing in on a long English summer evening. The day we left Julien was having the apartment repainted and some repair work done, so now I guess it will be even nicer.
