I had a wonderful time at Elaine's. Her apartment is every bit as beautiful as it appears in these photos and was the perfect place for me to stay while visiting family and friends in north west London.

A pleasant 5-minute walk along tree-lined streets takes you to Kilburn Station on the Jubilee line (very convenient for access to the city center) or Brondesbury on the spiffy new London Overground. Both stations are on the Kilburn High Road, which is a lively place with good pubs, cafes and the lovely Triangle Theater & Cinema.

Unfortunately, due to our different travel schedules, I didn't have the chance to meet Elaine in person, but she made sure I was well taken care of and knew how everything worked and was very responsive when I had any questions about the apartment.
