I’m traveling to London from the US for a few months. Looking for sublets and found a potential option in E. Acton, can anyone tell me more about this neighborhood? Safe? Interesting ?
Also besides Airbnb might there be a good website to find other options ? ( I found this option via a FB group)

Acton is kinda far from the action… I’d stay a bit closer in Hammersmith/Chelsea/Kensington

Yeah and I don’t think East Acton is actually that safe.

Are you looking for a room or whole flat? I am subletting my place

What are the dates that you will be in London?

Flexible / undecided. Late Dec/ early Jan for maybe 3 mo.

East Acton is not totally wild. But quite far (by London standards) to the centre. If you are used to a US city it's basically downtown.
