I came looking for an experience rather than a tourist trip, and Karen's place was perfect for me!! Quaint, off the path from too much hustle and bustle, walking distance to many things, but if you aren't interested in a good walk plenty of public transportation. Extremely pleasant host, and she was always responsive when I had any questions and worked splendidly with my travel schedule. If you are looking for a different route to explore London and a simple place to lay your head then Karen is perfect. I am hoping to be back again, and would hope to stay there again!!
