Karmen made us feel very welcome in a really friendly way explaining how everything worked in the accommodation as well as giving advice on nearby shops, takeaways and transport into London. She had provided the accommodation with a wide range of teas including fruit and herbal, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh milk. There was a good supply of crockery and cutlery, toaster, kettle and fridge, also cereal and preserves so it was easy to be as independent as you wanted. There was a little table and 2 folding chairs. We chose to have breakfast in Karmen's kitchen where she made varied and delicious food for us. She also gave me tastings of her native dishes on Sunday afternoon and offered us the use of the kitchen if we wanted to 'warm anything up'. She also did all our dishwashing from the studio. Karmen loved to chat and we enjoyed hearing about her life experiences and travels over breakfast. The studio was warm despite the rather cool weather. It had underfloor heating and supplementary heating in both the living/sleeping area and the ensuite shower room. Very convenient for Wembley just one stop on the train from Northolt Park. Also very close to A40 Target roundabout for arriving and departing but Carr Rd is in a quiet residential area and as the studio is at the rear of the house we had no problems with noise. Don't miss The Codfather-all day fish and chip takeaway. Award winning fish and chips in large portions even in the 'small' portions. Probably the best we have tasted, very fresh and well cooked to order. We spent Sunday morning at Ruislip Lido only a few miles drive away. Great location for a walk with pub and excellent value waterside cafe. If you are adventurous head into adjacent Ruislip Woods Nature Reserve; ancient woodland full of birds and interesting trees in March and flowers to follow I'm sure. Such a peaceful relaxing place. All in all a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. We will certainly return if we are looking for a place in this area again. Thank you Karmen.
