Valerie's place was great. I stayed with 3 others and we were all very comfortable. We left early in the morning and came back late at night, so we didn't have much time to cook or watch TV, but The rooms were spacious and relaxing. Valerie was quick with responding to questions (I really only had one or two, since she was kind enough to put together a packet before the trip). The proximity to king's cross/St pancras is the best part. It's about a 8-10 min walk and you can get anywhere in London. If you need a place to stay in London, I would check out Valerie's place!
