Really enjoyed my stay at Syed's place. You're not in central London, but you're about a 15-20 min walk to either Willesden Green (Jubilee Line), Kensal Green , or Willesden Junction. There are a few grocery stores right up the street, plus a chemist, and a really cute Italian cafe. The space is spartan, clean, and cozy. Don't have any complaints. Syed was a very communicative and generous host!
