yes i know it well, friend of mine lived just off the high street, and i got a place for another friend from italy down the other end in a similar place to the one advertised, and i lived for many years in golders green / hendon. far as im concerned it was quite a nice place to be, the tube station end is a little worse than the maida vale end, used to be a bit of drug activity late at night, more finding needles in doorways rather than gangs though and never physically saw anything. few bars and pubs nearby,

maida vale end is better, less shops and activity late at night. its worth seeing where it is, though from their literature which didnt seem to specify an exact location it is moments away from both the tube station and regents park. if you are at the maida vale end its still a good 30 minutes brisk walk down to marble arch.

close by youve got west hampstead, expensive area but quite villagey lots of bars and resteraunts, and in other directions some places you wouldnt want to go. basically london has good areas flanked by terrible ones so nothing you can do about that.

off the high street round the back you can park, it can be quite tight but ok if your away from the shops.

most of your neighbors will probably be in a similar position to you or foriegn students etc

would i stay/ live there in your position, yes i would , i would rather live in west hampstead but will probably be a trade of in price. worth looking though
