Shirley's place is great! I stayed here for 10 weeks.
The room was way better than the pictures could justify. It was spacious, yet cosy. Lots of storage and super functional! So you can imagine how much in love I am with my room. It is conducive for me to get lots of work and studying done. Yet, it is such a lovely space for me to unwind on a long day.
The 24hour buses just a short walk away gets you right into central London and back home very easily. If you prefer the tube, it is also convenient to get to.
Shirley had welcomed me so warmly into her home, making her place a home away from home for me. I appreciate that very much. I like too that I had someone to come home to instead of an empty home. I was given a lot of space and privacy yet, when I needed something Shirley was always readily available to hear me out.
I am missing this place already. And I highly recommend this place!
