A very sweet person! Loved coming back at the end of each day & having a little chat on things in general. A friend when in need is what i can say about Rhian. As soon as i arrived, i had an unfortunate incident of being robbed. I called Rhian to tell her I'll be late & the reason behind. She came to pick me up & showed me a lot of support & warmth making the situation i was in a lot lighter. It was a true blessing to have someone like her around during that time.
She's a lovely host that makes you feel right at home. I'm gluten & lactose intolerant, she got me almond milk, gluten free toast & granola💕 & left me space in the fridge to put my own groceries.
You can use the kitchen if you want to make/ heat something. She has a wide selection of teas, hot chocolate & coffee to enjoy whenever you wish
Her dog is also super cute, she keeps to herself & you hardly notice she's around. The level of cleanliness was very high within the house, which is a really important factor to me. I loved how the house had windows throughout, so it was light & bright always.
I had my own room ( which i could lock ) with a shared bathroom with 2 other rooms, but you hardly feel anyone's around & have total privacy, which made the stay very smooth.
Bed was very comfortable. Your given a towel. You get a good quiet rest, cause it's a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There are grocerie stores just walking distance around 6 minutes if you want to head to Sainsbury's or around 3 min walk if you want to buy fruit & veg.
The bus stop that takes you to Paddington station is 3 min walk away ( in front of the fruit & veg ). Then i used to take the underground to oxford circus which wasn't too far. You could take the underground, but i didn't want to wander in the area much & preferred to take the bus that drops you off literally just across the road then you take a left onto her road. At times i didn't feel very comfortable with the people in the neighbourhood but, it could've been my paranoia from being mugged at the station. If you walk with confidence & walk like you know where your going, i guess you'll be fine. There's also a papa John's pizza place on the corner in case you're hungry :)
Rhian always checks up on you & sees that you're ok. Thank you Rhian, i really felt very comfortable at your home!
