I can not say enough wonderful things about our stay in Victoria's beautiful home. Firstly, Victoria was a perfect hostess. She emailed me a guide to her home as well as info on the surrounding area ahead of time. When we arrived she had even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. I felt free to contact her anytime with questions, and I did multiple times during out stay and she was always helpful.

The place was clean and cozy with wonderful natural light. We were traveling with our 3 teenagers and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was relaxing to return there after a long day of sightseeing with the hustle and bustle of crowds. The master bed was so comfortable! And the kids loved all the windows in their rooms to see the night lights of London.

The location is perfectly located near to a tube station, Kensal Green. This is the one we used the most. It was a short walk through a residential area (7 minutes). There is an overground station a little closer, Kensal Rise, but it wasn't going in the direction that we were most of the time. This area of London is zone 2 so you are able to use the Oyster cards for travel which is nice.

We used many of her restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood and they, with the exception of one, were the best meals we had in London. Highly recommend The Whippet Inn, Rullo's, the Turkish kebab place (can't think of name), and The Island.

My daughter's favorite thing was the resident cat, Ned. Victoria told us we didn't have to take care of him. Her sister could come and do it. But we are animal lovers and it made it seem more like home. Ned is a great cat:)
