I stayed with Harriet for 5 weeks. When I arrived Harriet had bought me some biscuits apples and South African wine which was very sweet and welcoming. The bedroom is very pretty and clean, with a comfortable bed. Harriet was great always making sure I had clean bedding and towel.

For much of the time I stayed Harriet and I did pass a bit like ships in the night, but largely I think because we were both so busy at work. Towards the end we had a glass of wine at home, and it was great to get to know her a bit better. To be honest I would have loved a bit more interaction because I don't know many people in London, but I know its not really a requirement.

The neighbourhood is pretty and leafy. The nearest tube station is a 12-15 minute walk away which was a bit of a mission in the morning, but probably good getting me to do a bit of exercise! Cab home from tube is about £5, so if you're feeling lazy its a pretty affordable alternative.

There is the most adorable and cuddly resident kitty-cat, which purrs like and engine and just wants lots of love. He was such a wonderful thing to come home to each day after work.
