Carole's home is perfectly located for those working at the National Archives (a 7 min walk for me) or looking to stay beyond the downtown city center. The "blue room" was extremely comfortable and has a lovely view of the back garden. Located close to the Kew Gardens station (connecting with the London overground and district lines), and on main bus routes to and from downtown, it was easy to get to and from wherever I needed to go. Carole was an incredibly friendly host, offering breakfast to myself and another guest daily. If I ever have to return to London, I hope to stay with her again.
