Helen is a superb host, friendly, generous and extremely knowledgeable about London, especially the area around her home. The room is lovely, large and and very clean with a kettle, tea and biscuits always available, a comfortable bed and warm duvet. From her place you can walk to Hyde Park, Regent's Park, Nottinghill, Kensington, and many other great London areas. There is a bus stop right across from her building and an Underground station five minutes away. I enjoyed Helen's warmth and I even got to hear her sing the night before I left. She has a great voice.
There was some traffic noise so if you need absolute quiet to sleep, bring a pair of earplugs. I did and slept great. I would definitely recommend her and would stay with her again....Oh, and she has a fabulous cat.
