Shepherd's Bush might be London's most cosmopolitan neighborhood, and we loved it for it's diversity in restaurants, cafes, and the very cool Shepherd's Bush Market!
John was a lovely host. He greeted me and accommodated my ultra-late arrival and remained very attentive throughout our stay. He even remembered my wife's separate arrival date and provided us with fresh towels for her welcome. The apartment is a cozy studio apartment, with windows that really brighten the space.
The location could not be more than perfect, for its great access to the subway and various bus routes that took us all over--even the Oxford tube, which was a few blocks away. We even enjoyed walking to the monstrous Westfield Mall, a stark contrast to the small businesses that define much of Shepherd's Bush's vibe.
