Staying with Hester was great. She was really welcoming and attentive.
The house is just fantastic; really clean and very well taken care of. Hester managed to keep the Victorian atmosphere and at the same time modernise the little hidden things making your life easier as a good shower and a comfortable kitchen.
There were little cute attentive details making you feel cared as having a glass bottle of water in the room, an adaptor from continental to British plugs just in case, fresh and lovely smelling towels, etc...
The garden is impressive,really big and lovely.
I completely recommend staying at her place. The location is superb in underground zone 2 and the cats are really friendly.
Lots of amenities around, Cafe Venezia 5 minutes down the road has very friendly staff and they make wonderful English breakfast. There is also an affordable Brazilian Rodizio 3 minutes away if you feel like stuffing on grilled meat.
