The good: Martin who manages the property is a real benefit. What few issues we had (all minor) he promptly dealt with and he provided information about our navigating the neighborhood. The flat itself is large and while some furnishings are dated, very comfortable and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and I encountered no problem with my back issues (my back actually improved). The reading lights, a small issue in other stays at other locations, were a real plus. There was plenty of closet space, the kitchen was well stocked with implements, and the front garden provided a nice-backdrop to our large front room windows. There is a Fresh Go convenience store around the corner (four minute walk, if that) which is very convenient.
The neutral: Despite it suggesting otherwise, the washer would remove much of the water from our clothes but did not dry them. That is not uncommon as we found from our other stays at other locations. We used the ample supplied drying rack or draped clothes over the radiators and all dried quickly. The operation of the television was a little different but Martin demonstrated how to do it and once we understood the process things went well for our steady diet of The Chase and Dinner Date (Tipping Point got a little tiresome). The unit is on the first floor of the building and is entered from the landing right behind the main building door. That door has a stout lock on it with a heavy closing spring to make sure the door closes. That can slam shut with an inconsiderate tenant or a delivery person entering. We got use to that. The best transportation hub for us were the C 1 and 49 buses which are a short walk away which can take you to Shepherd's Bush tube stop (three or four stops away) or to Kensington High Street. They run about every ten minutes, usually almost in tandem. Thus, for tube travel, they tend to feed you to the tube for your journey rather than you walking directly to the tube station. You can walk to Shepherd's Bush but its about a twelve minute walk or so.
The not-so-good: The flat sits between Elsham Road (fairly quiet) and a more heavily traveled road behind. the bedroom faces the more heavily traveled so there are traffic sounds. There are some, but not may restaurants in this primarily residential location.
All in all we enjoyed our sixteen days there.
