Hilda's home was exactly as described. The water is VERY (you could brew tea) hot, but she reminded us of that and a bath after a long day of walking helped the muscles. Hilda's home is clean -- the bathroom and bedroom were spotless -- and Hilda herself was super nice. We very much appreciated her generosity with the toast & coffee in the morning as well as all of her advice. The tube stop is only an easy 15minute walk away, but the bus into London has a stop literally across the street from her home. Starting the day atop a double-decker bus as we rolled into London to take in the sights was one of the highlights of our trip. We needed a night bus so we could catch the first EuroStar to Paris and Hilda's location worked out well for that as well. (There's a night bus stop on that route right across from the tube station.) I absolutely recommend staying with Hilda.
