Justine and Jamie are very good hosts. They provide a welcome binder with all the details you'd need for your stay (like how to work the heater) and they have a few items in the fridge and cupboard to save you a trip to the store. The neighborhood and building are both quiet.

From the flat it is a short walk to Tube (Edgware Road station), Heathrow Express (Paddington Station, less than a mile away by foot - about 5 pounds by taxi) and Edgware Road, where you have coffee shops, grocery stores, pharmacies and can catch a cab very easily. I would definitely stay at their place again. The pubs on each corner are worth a visit and you're less than a half-mile walk from the Allsop Arms near Baker Street, my local favorite.

In my opinion, you won't find a better deal in a better part of town by staying at a hotel.
