We booked 1 night at Gillian's, but ended up staying there for 2, because we enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere and the lovely garden. When we got here, we had just gotten in with the flight and we're tired, and luckily we found that this was the perfect place to get landed, because the shuttle from the airport took us directly to the doorstep and because the street is quiet and the surroundings relaxing.
Gillian is a very nice, social and chatty woman. She helped us a lot with advice on how to get around, where to shop etc. She indeed opened her home to us; offered us some toast and a nice cup of tea in the morning, helped us wash our clothes etc. Overall, you feel very welcome, and if you are looking for a place to feel like a part of the home, Gillian's is a great place to stay!
