I spent almost three months at Claire's house while studying in central London, and I enjoyed every day of my stay. Claire is a kind, very attentive, very companionable host, and we had many a pleasant talk. The rooms are clean; the house itself is quiet (which is nice if you, like me, have homework to do in the evening) and conveniently close to both the tube and the overground train station. The Internet connection is fast (oh bliss!). I felt quite at home at Claire's house and would warmly recommend it to anyone. Oh, and the cat is very friendly, too.
