Julia was helpful in every aspect - only a phone call/text away. The room/amenities were perfect for my budget/needs. Location is great; less than 5 minutes from the metro/tube and bus stops. Bus is actually less expensive to ride depending on the time. 148 takes you to Marble Arch and from there, you can ride the BigBus or similar

Plenty of restaurants of various ethnicities around including some nice bakeries. A not to be missed eatery is the Falafel place across from the Shepherds Bush Market Station (different from Shepherds Bush Station). Another one is the Nepalese Tandoori - their potato/Bamboo subzi is awesome

Room has fridge and a compact kitchen with all the appliances including a washer/dryer (folks from US, suggest you Google the manual to get familiar on how to use it - was quite intrigued by a single unit that did both!)

My converter did not work and Julia's mother was prompt in making arrangements to get me one
