This apartment is the opposite of the many barren vacation rentals one can find. The walls are covered with art, and there are really comfortable sofas and chairs. The kitchen is incredibly well-equipped, although we had a lot of trouble figuring out how to set the microwave and oven menus in order to use them; even the apartment manager could not work them. This would be our major complaint, and it would help if new renters could be shown how to use them at the start (they are unlike anything we have used in America). The bed was very comfortable. In the bedroom bath, the sink is very cool-looking, but it is so shallow and under the mirror that it can be challenging to use. The shower is a delight. The apartment looks rather dark in the listing, but it is not in any way. There is great light in both the living area and bedroom. The washer/dryer is probably the best we used on our vacation. The owner, Nigel, is very responsive to questions and volunteered helpful ideas. The apartment had nice access to the District Line (Turnham Green) and the Overground Line (Acton Central). We had to use the latter a lot due to metro strikes the entire weekend we were here. Overall, this was a great place, and we would happily stay there again.
