It is located pretty close to the Bakersfield line which runs right through the city center. There are only a few nice places to eat and grocery shop and they are in the direction away from the tube station. A bus does stop in front of the place that will take you to nearby Kendal Rise which is a very nice area full of restaurants and stores. The host Amanda is very responsive but I didn't need anything. It was stocked with everything I needed. Everything functions well.
