We chose to stay in Shepherd's Bush for 2 main reasons: we already knew the area and we were in London for a concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. The area is very nice, even though it takes at least half an hour to reach major attractions in London (please note: during our stay, the Central Line station was closed, so we took the H&C line or buses).
The house is just like in pictures and Rajna is a very kind and patient person.
