Philippa and her family are so welcoming and lovely! Philippa checked with me multiple times during my stay to make sure everything was great and if I needed anything. Also she made sure I knew I could come and go, which is important to be reassured since it's their family home. The area is quiet, leafy and on a private residential road. But still close to many many essential shops, restaurants, bars, pubs etc. It's a short walk to everything that you would need on the High Street and the surrounding area. It's also easy to get to town and other parts of Greater London. There's also a really close Sainsburys local supermarket, that was so handy when I didn't want to walk to the busy high street. This room is very spacious, clean with updated windows and a newly renovated modern bathroom next door. Perfect for two female guests, or like me a solo female traveler. Also Philippa and her family didn't mind my odd sleeping hours, I was also doing business on Los Angeles time including a few nights out in London :) And they didn't mind at all, which was a relief. I usually book a little studio to myself, or something similar on Airbnb, if I travel solo, but I really enjoyed staying in Philippa's home since the room felt very private, self-contained with all amenities available - plus I was left to come and go as I please - I would definitely re-book. There's many great local places to go out in the evening too, as well as for lunch, if you don't want to venture into town. I was able to store a couple of items in their fridge as well. Their two dogs are sweet too. Everything was perfect, I highly recommend Philippa and William's home.
