Summary Review:

The flat was very nice. Clean, comfortable and has all the amenities that you need. It's in a nice location - approximately 10 minute walk to the Shepherd's Bush Tube station (Central Line) and the bus stop is right around the corner from the flat. There are 3 restaurants & a convenience store close by and a pub a few blocks down. There is also a shopping mall near the tube station and many good restaurants. We would stay here again.

More Details:

If you are coming from Europe or outside the U.S., you will feel right at home. If you are coming from the U.S., you need to be aware that this is a typical European sized condo. The rooms are smaller than is typically found in the U.S., so you may feel a bit cramped. However, you have plenty of space to enjoy your stay and the unit has all the amenities you should need.

The unit is on the 1st Floor (2nd floor by U.S. terms, so you need to walk up one floor - there is no lift/elevator). There is a small kitchen with a stove, dishwasher & washer/dryer. We did use the washer/dryer a couple times, but it's a small washer (a few pieces at a time) and the dryer doesn't really dry very well, so there is a drying rack in the unit as well so you can hang your clothes. We used the dryer first then hung the clothes to finish drying overnight.

The unit is advertised with air conditioning, but in typical European fashion, the air conditioning is a fan. We were unfortunate in that it was unusually hot during our visit (reaching up to 34C/93F outside) and as a result it got very warm inside the unit (as high as 29.5C/85F inside), so the fan only helped marginally. Please note, that this weather is VERY unusual for London and the chances that you will experience this are very low. However, the main point to note is that there is not formal AC in the unit.

The homeowner, Maria, is very nice and easy to work with. She was responsive whenever we reached out to her and we truly appreciated that. Maria has some very nice Turkish rugs in the unit, so she will ask you to remove your shoes at the door and not wear shoes inside the flat (she provides a hanging shoe rack on the back of the door as well as a cabinet near the door where you can store your shoes). This is also a strictly non-smoking flat, which we also appreciated.

All-in, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we return to the same area. I would recommend staying here if the flat is available during your visit!
