Denis and Giovanni made staying at their apartment very easy. More about them in a bit.

Their neighborhood, Willesden Green, has its own Underground (above ground) stop on the Jubilee Line, which makes "tubing" to Central London very simple.

The Underground station is a 10 minute walk from the apartment. There is also a bus stop right in front of the apartment, but we never took a bus to the tube station as we enjoyed walking there each day of our visit. Although we frequently returned late-ish from our sight-seeing, we always felt safe in the neighborhood.

A nearby large Sainsbury (grocery store) made shopping for food very easy.
