To begin with, the apartment is small but very cosy, spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. We found everything we needed for a comfortable 4-night stay on the shelves and in the cupboards (towels, toilettries, linen, hairdryer, iron, etc.). The amount of effort and thought that Marija and Zvonko have put into this apartment is evident at first glance. There is great attention to detail, and everything from the little decorations in the corner of the kitchen to the gorgeous bedspread add to the warmth and comfort of this flat. During the day, you can open up the curtains to let in loads of natural light, and during the night, there are different types of lighting for you to light up the space as you prefer (floor lamp, table lamp, wall/ceiling lights, etc.). The wifi in the flat is fast and stable, and this was much appreciated by us as we wanted to stay connected with people back home! The apartment is a 12-15 min walk from North Acton station (central line) if you are a medium-paced walker, and if I had to nitpick, I suppose this would be the only slight downside. However, if you enjoy a short walk, then this would be a perfect place to stay and excellent value for money.
Also, I definitely cannot review this place without putting in a word about the hosts. They are some of the nicest people and incredibly accommodating too. Marija was so fast and efficient with her replies before we arrived, and very flexible, as she accommodated our (super) late check-in request. On the day of our arrival, Zvonko was waiting at the flat for us. My friend and I walked the wrong way from North Acton (it was late and we were unfamiliar with the area) and got hopelessly lost. We called Zvonko to ask for directions and he actually walked out to the main road to try and find us and rescue us. All this at 1am on a weeknight, and he still met us with much graciousness and a broad smile! We were very grateful for how friendly and helpful both of them were, and I would definitely recommend this place to others.
Thank you Marija and Zvonko for a memorable stay! :)
