The apartment is immaculate, well-furnished, roomy, and very comfortable. With the street on one side and the railroad tracks on the other, one does need to tolerate a certain amount of noise, and the place also heats up quickly in hot weather. But I really appreciated having a full apartment at a price that I could afford, and with easy access to public transportation. Kew Gardens Station is only a five-minute walk away, and the area around there has a nice array of small shops, cafes, and restaurants. In addition, the food at Rara Kew, the Nepali restaurant only half a block from the apartment, is to die for. I booked here because my job took me to Kew Gardens, and I had an enjoyable 8-night stay.
