Vicky is a warm, outgoing and uncomplicated person, and her house in Clapton is a very welcoming place.
I found the organisation of the stay including check-in (communication beforehand; keys; whats-where in the house; where do I put my stuff; where do I shop, how do I get to town etc) to be lighthandedly impeccable without ever making me feel as if I was staying in a hotel.
To sum the material side of things up quickly: the bed is perfect, the bedroom window faces a quiet yard - no street noise at night, deep sleep guaranteed - and everything in the bathroom works perfectly. The kitchen is a cozy communal place for breakfast and midnight snacks.
There is really nothing I would critizise.
Connections to town are very OK except at night, when the mazy ways of London's buses can get a bit confusing to non-Londoners, but we made it home every time. Clapton has good food, very good shops including places for well-kept vintage clothing, and a good vibe in general. Vicky knows about what's going on and is happy to share.
