Home truths
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The nearest Tube Station is Kensal Green, a two-minute walk away.
You’ll be required to sign a digital rental agreement from the host prior to your stay for security and insurance purposes. Your host will send this to you after your booking is confirmed.
