The host was prompt in getting back to me and giving me access to his home, which was a large, older home in Northwest London. The house has two baths. and about 6 to 8 bedrooms that the owner rents out. The walk from the underground, Kensal Green station, was about 15 minutes. The neighborhood felt mostly safe, and had an immigrant population. My room was comfortable, tidy, but was a bit cold at night ( It was early December in London) though the blankets provided were more than adequate to give me a warm sleep.
