Great location for exploring the western parts of London -- Ealing, Chiswick, Kew, Richmond, to name a few. A number of excellent pubs nearby (loved the Grove and the Grange), with easy access to good coffee shops (Ealing Broadway), groceries and shopping as well. Excellent connections on the Tube and by bus to everywhere else. Many nearby parks, including the huge Gunnersburry (with its gym facilities), which was great for running/exercising. Lyla was a very responsive host.
