First comes the location, which is ideal. I spent more time in the neighborhood than originally planned because of underground strikes and found it was totally worth it (starting with English breakfast around the corner, a great recommendation from Linda). It’s urban, trendy and green at the same time. Linda is a very experienced host and knows what you need when you travel. You’ll get more than what a hotel would normally provide (fresh water on arrival, Wi-Fi, adapter, tea & coffee, to name but a few). She is both discreet and friendly. I felt immediately at home. Kitchen and bathroom are small but well organized and clean. Location is quiet at night (I slept with the window open). The room is better than it looks on the pictures. The bed is very comfortable. If like me you are not much of a pet lover no worries, the two cats are mostly in the other rooms and Linda takes great care of their hygiene. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I visit London!
