Great place! The underground metro is .4 miles, so it took us about 13-15 min to walk it. There are buses that are about a 5 minute walk, but we didn’t take them. So not sure about using that mode of transportation. There is a Lidl grocery store near the Shepard’s Bush station. Just bear in mind you have that longish walk with all of your groceries. The apartment itself was great. Very comfortable beds. The second bedroom has very little floor space, so my daughter had to keep her bag at the top of the stairs outside the bathroom because there just was no where to keep it in the room. The apartment is on a quiet little street tucked behind a busier street. We were very grateful to have a washer/dryer. Hot water was excellent, everyone had hot showers (there were four of us.) while the apartment had all the necessary cookware, there really isn’t a place to sit and eat if there are more than 2 people, just fyi. We were on a 2 1/2 week road trip around Britain and we appreciated being able to cook a regular meal and eat around a dining table. This property doesn’t accommodate that, just in case you are wanting that experience. I highly recommend this place and I am sure you won’t be disappointed. It was definitely a great value!
