My 1 week stay was perfect. From the beginning, David was accommodating despite me constantly changing my time of check-in due to prior work commitments. The room was spacious (there were many interesting books on London to read) and the toilet was clean. David and his partner were friendly without being intrusive and left me, the typical reticent asian girl to my own devices, haha. The neighbourhood is safe, 5 mins away from a Starbucks and I felt perfectly safe coming home at night, walking back from the tube at 11 - 12pm. The Bakerloo line where Maida Vale is on has direct trains to Paddington, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly, so it's all convenient. Or, take bus 98 from Oxford Street back if you get too tired walking all of London. Will definitely stay with them again the next time I am hopefully back in London!
