Staying at Kate's was great! We met John when we checked in, who was incredibly welcoming, and later got to meet and chat with Kate, who is also very nice! The room was very comfortable, and location was convenient, only a few blocks from an Underground station. Not in the heart of the city, but a quiet, safe neighborhood that was nice to go back to in the evenings. Recommend walking down the neighborhood's main street if you have a chance! Nice restaurants/cafes.
