Any (dis)advantages to homestay in Ealing as opposed to a Zone 2 area in London? - Interior of spacious lobby with comfortable white sofa and armchairs placed in contemporary hotel in daylight

I looked at Google maps and searched around in forums but I still haven't found an answer to that. There are two options of homestay in London, one staying in the Ealing area and another in "Zone 2" (unspecified area).

From what I understand, Ealing is a leafy borough in west London, that is about 30-40 minutes from central London, it is a Zone 3 area so fares a bit more expensive to get to/from there. It seems to be quieter than a Zone 2 area.

Zone 2 is closer to central London, but I don't think it is walking distance, right? Being closer to central, I think that it might be not be as safe at night, correct?

Apart from that, what are some differences between the two choices that would make one preferable over another?
