        Good location, Twin apartment, Kitchenette

        10 mins walk from station Shepherd's Bush. But quite difficult if having luggage. Quiet and safe residential area. Not recommend for families with small children and elders. Tesco supermarket is in walking distance. Not easy to find twin apartment in London. Basis kitchenette allowed to make simple dishes. However, serious drainage problem in both sink and bathtub. Immediate action taken but getting worse after then...otherwise this hotel is perfect!
