We loved every part of our experience staying in Gail's attic room. The space was very nice and four of us (two adults and two kids) slept well. The adjoining roof garden and sitting area was lovely in both mornings and evenings.

Gail and Steve were very welcoming hosts. They answered all of our questions about attractions, local restaurants, and transportation. They opened up their kitchen in the mornings and laid out a continental breakfast that blew us away. Fresh bread and pastries, sliced fruit, gourmet coffee, a wide selection of teas, homemade marmalade, different specialty honeys... And they have an addicting game of skill in their kitchen (French Skittles) that we loved.

The neighborhood is lively and diverse -- with lots of foot traffic, buses, shops, and restaurants. We loved it. Transport time to get to central London was about 50 minutes by public bus or a combination of overground (train) and tube.
