I took my daughter to London & stayed here for 2 weeks. The location is very convenient, it’s in a working class neighborhood, very safe. There are tons of restaurants, supermarkets, pubs, convenient stores, etc etc within 1/2mi radius. There’s also a Super Tesco (feels very much like a Walmart Superstore) about 15 min walk. We see many young families in the neighborhood. It’s super easy to get to from Heathrow - easy /quick access via Tube (Piccadilly/District lines) from Terminal 2/3. Also bus 28,306,74, 430 are all within 2-5 mins walk, which will lead you to South Kensington, Mayfair, Covent Garden etc. It was a great “home base”.
The flat is kept very clean. The housekeeper comes regularly. I was a little worried with sharing with other guests. But with different guests come & go, everyone was very respectful to others, we had no issue at all. We even made new friends with guests from Italy, France, Slovenia, Brazil, to name a few.
Luis is a great host - great communications and fast response. Also very flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend this place. The flat has no lift, but as Americans we sit all day at home, so we needed the exercise. LOL
