Stunning, stylish contemporary London family home

For context, we came to London from the USA and planned to walk / Uber / tube / train for the duration of our stay; Julian's property was perfect for us. It is the first time I've stayed in Shepherd's Bush and the family enjoyed every minute spent around the diverse neighborhood as well as in the home. Shepherd's Bush Market tube station (Hammersmith & City and Circle lines) is a five-minute walk, and Shepherd's Bush tube station (Central line) was about a fifteen minute walk. It was incredibly simple and quick to get anywhere in greater London. Julian was an amazing and responsive host, who checked in with us regularly. His home offered both privacy and communal space; it is populated by amazing art and unique artifacts from around the world, much of it from Africa. Most interesting to me was the significant library, which had an array of subjects that matched my own itinerant scholarship. I was pleased to encounter Don McCullin's autobiography on the shelf and was able to complete it during our visit. We would definitely seek out the opportunity to stay again the next time we are in London!

My family and I stayed at this accommodation for about three weeks for a Christmas holiday! It is a gorgeous home and has so much character. We loved the lounge area with the built in bookshelves. Julian was incredibly responsive and helpful. He was quick to resolve any questions we had. The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped which was great for our long stay. We didn’t love the shower (a bit small and didn’t stay hot very long) but that’s our only negative really. Highly recommend!

Great old, multi-floored flat located in the very diverse Shepherd's Bush neighbor. The decor inside is unique and interesting. *Beds comfortable *Large kitchen & dining area, cupboard well stocked with cooking basics *Several bathrooms (3 1/2!!) with plenty of towels *washer and dryer - laundry soap provided These saved us because we didn't bring many clothes. If you're an American like me, be sure to learn how to use these appliances. They are a bit different than what we are used to. *The owner supplied restaurant and market suggestions and was quiet responsive whenever reached out to him during our stay. Overall a great stay... the only two things I'd like to mention is the apartment is about 5 miles from the downtown area, about a 35 to 40 minute Uber or taxi ride but there are PLENTY of buses and Underground options nearby. We were always in a hurry so we opted for Uber rides. The other note is people with mobility issues may have difficulty with the stairs in the apartment. Thanks for allowing stay in your rental Julian!

Home was in a diverse and interesting neighborhood and was very comfortable and inviting. We were most impressed and loved our stay.
