Karen's place is just as advertised. Modern, spacious with all the amenities a family of four could ask for. We were visiting with our two young children and the location of the flat, across the street from a playground and 10 minutes away from all the activities of Queen's Park, was brilliant! We could spend a couple of hours letting the kids run and play when we needed a break from our hectic sightseeing schedule.
The flat itself is very comfortable, the kitchen has everything that you may need to put together a hearty breakfast before heading out for the day (Nespresso machine, toaster, full size fridge). Upon our arrival Karen had provided us with fresh milk, cereal, bread, juice, butter, jam and a bottle of bubbly to get us started. It was incredibly thoughtful.
The location is approximately 45 minutes to the city centre where all the tourist sights are. The most convenient route is via Queen's Park Station (15 min walk) to catch the Jubilee line. However, our daughter got a little motion sick on the tube so we used the Overground which stopped at Queen's Park Station and also at Kensal Rise and Brondesbury Park which were both only a 8 minute walk away. All that to say that there were a lot of choices if you choose to use public transit.
We would definitely stay here again and are looking forward to our next visit.
