My bestfriend and me stayed at Salwa´s flat for 4 weeks. Her daughter Sarah welcomed us very nice and showed us around in the area. Salwa and Sarah are very nice hosts.
The flat is in a very pretty area in London (little Venice) and very close to the city. I worked at Baker Street and it took me only 10 minutes with the bus there. The bus stop is right in front of the house. And even to the tube station it is only 7-10 minutes walking (Warwick Avenue or Paddington Station). That was the best thing about the flat - the location. It was easy to get around by bus and tube. To the places of interest (like the Big Ben, Tower Bridge) it took us only around 20 minutes by bus and tube. Also there are Restaurants and supermarkets (e.g. Waitrose) nearby. Only 10 minute walk there.
Our room was ok. It was small, not very clean, we had to share one closet, because the other one was full with Salwa´s clothes and the biggest problem was that it was often very cold. And another thing that we didn´t like so much was that we had to share the bathroom and kitchen with 4 other people (Salwa, Sarah and 2 other people from China). We expected to live there just with Salwa and her daughter and after a couple of days there were coming 2 other people from China and Salwa told us that only 2 days before. They stayed for 4 weeks as well. It was a little annoying to share the bathroom with so many people and of course it was very noisy in the flat. The flat was not as clean as we know it from our home in Germany. Salwa cleaned the bathroom once a week and the kitchen was also often very dirty and messed up, because of all the people.
But Salwa did her best to work it out and she cooked for us a lot of times dinner to make it nice for us. Her cooking was very good.
All in all we would say that we had a good time there and that it is nice staying there for a couple of days. Next time when I book something I will ask how many people will stay in the flat, before booking, but for a couple of days it is a good place to stay in London. The most because of the great location!
