I met Boris' brother-in-law, David, and he could not have been more welcoming and kind. He and his family live on-site (this is more like a mini-hotel than a shared house) and as a single woman traveling alone, I felt very safe. Each room had it's own private door lock (digital card like hotels) and the room was precisely what I needed. Clean, comfortable bed, mini kitchenette and an updated bathroom with hot water. They were able to accommodate my 12:00PM arrival which I really appreciated after taking a red-eye from the States. Location is perfect. Less than a 5 minute walk to the Hammersmith Tube station, traveling to London's city center is a breeze (10-20 minutes). A good selection of restaurants too when you are too tired to travel far from "home." Will stay here again!

Note - if stairs are hard for you, be sure to let them know in advance. Like all townhouses, three floors on a narrow staircase could be challenging for those with mobility issues.
