This flat is a beautiful "home away from home" in a residential neighborhood. If you want a comfortable place in a gated community away from the busiest parts of London, you'll enjoy this flat. It was the perfect size for my family of three. A number of bus lines are right on Elgin Avenue and it's about a 10-minute walk to the Maida Vale stop and under 10 minutes to Westbourne Park. (Note: We had great weather almost every day, so we didn't mind the walk, but this is London, after all, so keep in mind you could be making this trip in the rain.) It didn't take long to get everywhere we wanted to go by bus or tube. There's a pleasant little garden in the back where we ate breakfast when it wasn't too chilly. Carolyn left us a lovely detailed map and clear instructions for getting around. Highly recommended.
