Helen's place definitely had a homely feel - lots of interesting books, kitchen and cupboards fully stocked with any thing you might need. The place was clean, no indication of cats being there (except for the cat tree), shower was particularly good. Very close to two overgrounds and multiple bus stops.
Fridge was stocked with juice and water (thank you!) and soy milk (bonus!).
Communication was easy and Helen as a host was reliable. Would highly recommend Helen's place if you are looking for a stay in London.
