Kevin and Kathy were wonderful hosts. Both were kind and welcoming, always stopping for a chat with us on our way in and out - but not overbearingly so. Once in the self-contained apartment (basement), we were left to our own devices. The space itself is good - lovely and cool with the window open in the late summer, and clean and comfortable enough for three people (including the bathroom). The kitchen is also very well stocked with appliances and utensils. The kettle broke while we were there and we spoke to Kevin about it who went to look at replacing it right away. The street itself is quiet and residential, and while you may hear Kevin and family moving about overhead from the basement, they are not noisy at all. The house is a 10 to 15 minute walk to to train station, but the route is very direct, with supermarkets and restaurants along the way. There is also a bus stop at the main intersection right near the house. Thank you again, Kevin and Kathy! And we hope to see you again the next time we are in London.
