Having already agreed to a change of arrival date, Simone welcomed us warmly to her lovely house in Muswell Hill. Later that evening, her son Joe offered welcome tea and biscuits and Simone provided extra pillows. She also offered to prepare an early breakfast for our 6 am departure. Simone's house is in a lovely neighbourhood with good on-street parking and easy access to the bustling village life and the leafy walks of Ally Pally Park. It's a good choice and a good place to rest your head, close to London.
