The studio looks very much like what you expect. It’s nice and close to shops and other cafes. It’s also close to willesden green station (jubilee) which is very convenient.
The area itself is very multicultural, I never felt unsafe as a single woman but I guess, just like any major city, you’d have to me mindful of your surroundings.
I enjoyed staying in the studio, I just wished the internet was faster; it was so slow I could hardly use it. That was quite a problem for me since I relied on it a lot to do my research, but thankfully wifi is pretty much everywhere in London.
