I stayed with Kate for about 3 weeks while I completed a teaching placement in a nearby school. Her place was absolutely perfect and was so comfortable that it really felt like I was coming home every night. Having the mini fridge, toaster, microwave, kettle and dishes was so incredibly helpful, allowing me to make meals and organize myself for the next day at school. Kate was so welcoming, making sure to check in multiple times throughout my stay to see how I was doing and let me know of anything that would be going on during my extended stay, including when other guests would be arriving. Kate even stored my extra bag for me while I traveled outside of London for a week at the end of my trip. I cannot more highly recommend that you choose to stay with Kate during your time in London, you will not regret it!
