The big surprise here is that Kilburn is a vibrant multi-cultural neighbourhood with some lovely spots to end a day trekking around downtown. Shlome's place is on the Jubilee Line of the London Tube and it gets you quickly pretty much anywhere you want to go, while avoiding the high prices of rentals downtown. Very comfortable and spacious and it's got everything you'll need. Lots of space to spread out. There's a Persian coffee shop a half block away that is a real gem.
