What a lovely, comfortable, and inviting home! My hosts were amazing and accommodating, especially when I gave them the wrong arrival date (pesky red-eyes messing up my sense of time!). Sally was quick to respond to emails both before and during my stay which made me feel very welcome. The room itself was perfect for my two-week stay, and I definitely could have stayed longer. Very private space with a TV, microwave, small fridge, kettle, and toaster. Full private bathroom was incredibly convenient. The shower was a little small, but didn't really bother me that much. As I said, totally fine for a short stay. The room had lovely natural light, and windows overlooking the garden. The train tracks are right behind the house, but since the tube trains are electric they aren't that loud at all. Even nights when I slept with the window open, I didn't have any trouble staying asleep. Close proximity to Kew's Botanic Gardens (a MUST see), the Kew Garden station, bus stops, restaurants, pubs, and grocery stores. I highly recommend visiting Rara for Nepalese cuisine, and Tap on the Line for yummy cocktails! Really close to Heathrow (only about 20-30 min cab ride), but about an hour or more drive from Gatwick.
I will definitely look into booking this place next time I'm in time, and will recommend to friends and colleagues!
