The photos of this place totally hooked us. Plus, the space. There is so much space. There's endlessly interesting decor and creativity that makes this space simply fun to stay in. There's a convenient little washer and a drying rack. There wasn't a microwave which would've been so nice to have to reheat food.
Our main issue was the garbage piled in front of the entrance to the place. It was pungent and flies and other insects were swarming the entire week we were there. We immediately contacted the team to tell them about it, and were told it would be taken care of. On the second day we were there we had a knock on the door and it was the owner who needed to get a jacket. When we mentioned the garbage issue he graciously did take some of the garbage that was on the ground and overflowing the bins away, but the smell of the old garbage and flies/insects were still there. We contacted the team again, and they said it would be taken away and it never was during the 7 days we stayed there.
Given that there isn't any a/c and London was experiencing a rather wild heatwave - that meant we had these insects and flies inside the space and it became quite unbearable.
IF there's one thing that could be changed, it would be that. It made the ground level area with the kitchen and living area a bit difficult to stomach. And the flies and insects made it up the second and third levels.
It is like a 5-7 minute walk to the Shepherd's Bush station. So that's nice and convenient. There are a few little local markets that make getting groceries convenient as well. The Westfield mall with its eateries and shopping is only one tube stop away or a 10-15 min walk.
The bathrooms are nice and modern - but be aware that the entire floor gets wet, as there isn't any separation from the shower to the rest of the bathroom. So make sure to keep anything you want dry off the floor when you shower. There were a few things that show wear and some lights that are hanging from the ceiling or missing bulbs. But those are minor.
It's definitely a lovely space, with abundant room, the interior decorator or whomever had an eye for it, is pretty brilliant.
