Raj was a great host. He is so fast at communication and helped us with receiving some tickets to an event. We couldn’t thank him enough.
The location was perfect.
We had a ground floor level which was great with no steps, noise level was low.
There was no parking stall but Raj suggested the parking app and we had a great space out front of the apartment and just paid our meter through the app.
The whole apartment was clean and modern.
Beds were comfortable!!
Kitchen was fresh and clean, basic equipment there.
A couple of small markets across the road. A few good restaurants and coffee shops too. Le Cochonette had nice Italian and there was the Elgin pub down the street 5 minutes and across from the metro station. There also is a Starbucks there and some other take away shops.
Maida vale is the bakerloo line and we could connect to anything. 5 minute walk, super easy.
Lovely staff at the metro helped us purchase Oyster cards which saved us 1/2 price on travel each day and good for bus or metro fares. You pay a £5 deposit. And you get it back plus any remaining money on the card.
Our favourite thing we did more like a local than a tourist was goto a speakeasy style underground bar.
We went to cahoots (there are 3 together) but we went to the newly opened control room. You get 2 hours of amazing bar tending, specialty and fun drinks, lively music and excellent service. We took an Uber there for £11 and metro’d home.
Neighborhood felt safe and lots of families and people walking.
