My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Stefano's flat very much. We didn't actually meet Stefano but he mailed us the keys of the flat and informed us about the flat and the area through email which worked perfectly fine. Stefano was very kind to leave us milk, bread, eggs etc. upon arrival.

As for the flat itself: it's a really roomy (not to say huge) property. The living room is huge (it looks smaller in the pictures) and so are the two bedrooms. The bed in the master room was really good, hotel quality. Kitchen, bathroom etc. were well-equipped. Wifi was fast, which we appreciated a lot as we were working. We felt at home there.

The flat is in Ealing (zone 3). A short walk from Hanger Lane station (Central Line to Oxford circus etc.). It took my wife about 40 minutes door-to-door to get to her work in Soho. And to Westfield shopping centre and Notting Hill it took about 15 minutes. There are regular buses to the town centre (Ealing Broadway) where the shops and restaurants are to be found (and the library where I went to do some work). Most of the times I walked instead of going by bus. Took me 25 minutes.

If we would ever need a flat in this area again, I would certainly consider Stefano's flat.
