If you want to have a true ‘London experience’ and live as a Londoner would, this is the place. I have stayed in properties with other rental companies, but this is my first time with Airbnb. You would never feel this if you stayed in a hotel. The fact that Amelia lives here with her family makes all the difference (they were away on holiday so the house was made available to us).
You see the personal touches everywhere - the wedding and kids pictures on the walls, the kids books, the greeting cards they received from people etc. All of these make the place feel like home! The master bedroom with the 3 skylights kept the upstairs cool and gives you a rooftop view of the neighborhood. Amelia had basic groceries such as milk and eggs, as well as bottles of wine and some goodies ready to welcome us, and this showed their thoughtfulness. Amelia was quick to respond to questions by text message, and was very patient and understanding.
The Shepherd’s Bush Market station is 6 minutes walk from the house (I timed it), with convenient access to the Circle and District lines. Within 20 or so minutes, you would be at the Baker Street station, from which you could connect to other lines. Note that Shepherd’s Bush Market and Shepherd’s Bush are different stations. The house is also just 5 minutes walk to Uxbridge Road which buzzes with activity. The convenience is also remarkable, with a Tesco Express as well as other grocery stores and eateries close by. We often returned after 10 PM, and always felt safe. I give it a 5-star rating of course, and my wife and kids feel the same way - thank you Amelia!
