Neil's flat in West Kensington was an absolute delight.
The area is a stone's throw away from everything and made for very easy getting around. Kensington High Street and Shepherd's Bush Rd are both extremely close (walking distance) and were great areas for shopping/dining/walking around. (There is an amazing Whole Foods on Kensington High Street). The walk to the tube station (Shepherd's Bush) is so quick and easy and the Central Line makes for very easy travel around London, to King's Cross Station, etc. Not to mention, there is an amazing Westfield Shopping Centre behind the tube station - has every store you can think of!
Just across the street (literally) from Neil's place is a stocked 'Fresh N Go' that has all the grocery essentials, a quick and easy dry cleaners, an AMAZING Chinese Food takeaway, and a Persian Restaurant that is to die for.
As far as location goes - this is such a centrally located area & the street is absolutely beautiful. Can't be beat.
The flat itself felt like home in no time. The whole place allows for natural light to pour in throughout the kitchen area, living room, bedroom, etc. The bed is super comfortable, the kitchen has most of the essentials, and the overall feel of the place is very welcoming.
Neil was an EXCELLENT host. Anything I could have needed additionally was offered & any questions I had were answered immediately. Neil genuinely cares about the quality of your experience in his home - and it shows in the quality of experience you will have when you stay here.
Thank you SO much Neil!
