My friend and I were traveling to London for a weekend and needed a last-minute place to stay after a bad hostel experience. Brenda kindly let us book the place the day-of, and graciously welcomed us with biscuits and tea. She has a very cute dog (definitely energetic, make sure to mention it to her if you don't like dogs, but we loved it!) and the room was simple but comfortable. Although we encountered some issues with the shower, they were completely out of Brenda's control (pipe issues maybe?) and she kindly brought up containers of hot water so that we could still get ourselves clean. Her place is nicely located right near the Chiswick train station, and though it was a little bit of a trek to central London, we found the bus routes to be pretty simple to understand, and we appreciated the peace and quiet of charming Chiswick.
