Mauricio is a fantastic host! We had regular communications from the time of booking (a few weeks before the trip) until I got there...he made sure that I wouldn't get lost and would be ready for the trip. I really appreciated that. The room is not big but it's more than enough and very good value for money for a single person visiting an expensive city like London. The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy, and the bed is soft and comfortable. The location is great and it's just a few minutes walk from the Queen's Park station, which is just a few stops away from key areas of London. The train is often conveniently empty when boarding from Queen's Park station coz it's near the end of the line. It's convenient to go to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour (Harry Potter) -- just take the Overground train from Queen's Park station and get off at Watford Junction (around 15 stops away)...then take the shuttle bus to the studio entrance. It's a peaceful neighborhood...you would feel safe walking alone in the well-lit streets even late at night. During schooldays, you can hear the kids going to school nearby and playing...it creates a soothing environment that's vastly different from the stressful hustle and bustle of the busy parts of London. It was my luck to be Mauricio's guest on the weekend of his birthday. He's a fun and intelligent conversationalist. Right off the bat, he made me feel welcome to be his guest. I enjoyed talking with him about what to do and where to go in London. Overall, it was a great experience staying with Mauricio. I highly recommend his place.
