We had a wonderful time in Maida Vale. The flat was as advertised, and the location was perfect for a family with kids. The park is literally right outside the door with a ton of space for running around, playing football (we call it soccer), and a couple of great playgrounds. Local bus service to the tube station and beyond was great too (but you can easily walk straight to Maida Vale or Warwick Avenue stations if you would rather). Thanks for a great time - we hope to come back next time we go to London!
