I wholeheartedly recommend Chiara's bright and cozy flat in Queen's Park. I had the opportunity to stay there for about 10 weeks during a work trip this late summer/early fall. The flat is nicely furnished and stocked with the sorts of necessities that you take for granted when you're in your own home: tea, spices and other kitchen supplies -- perfect for a longer stay like mine.

The neighborhood is lovely -- there are numerous grocery stores, cafes (check out Gail's!), restaurants, and one of the best farmer's markets that I have ever been to. The flat itself is a five minute walk from the Queen's Park tube station, on the Bakerloo line, which will quickly take you directly to the heart of London. It's also close a five minute walk to an overground station, which is useful for getting to East London. The neighbors are quiet and friendly.

I could go on, but Chiara's profile and the previous guests have already done a good job listing all the nearby attractions. The most important thing is that Chiara was super communicative and would always help in any way she could to resolve any problems that I inevitably caused for myself during my stay. For instance, I flew back to London late one Sunday night from Berlin, only to realize that I had locked myself out of the flat. I contacted Chiara, and she was able to help me get back in in only about a half hours time. That was a complete lifesaver.

I miss the flat already (and the beautiful view out the back window). Thanks Chiara!
