This listing was perfectly suited for my needs. The location a short walking distance to Kilburn tube station from where I could easily get to anywhere I needed.
Warning to people who are light sleepers though (which luckily isn't my case), the fridge does make quite a racket as someone had pointed out in a previous review. I wouldn't envisage making a 5-course meal, but the kitchenette is well suited for small scale meal preparations. The cabinet above the sink in the bathroom has been removed so you have full access now.
Mel is a lovely host and I would definitely stay there again.
