We stayed at Julia's flat over New Year's and had an amazing time. The flat was clean and comfortable and was located 2 minutes from the Ladbroke Grove station. It is located on a busy street so could get a bit noisy. We have lived in cities for many years so this was not an issue for us but if you are used quiet you may have difficulty with this. We didn't get a chance to meet Julia but she was very responsive and helpful throughout. Overall, we love Julia's flat and would definitely return!
