Hilda was a great host, and provided a very comfortable, clean, and welcoming room. I stayed with Hilda twice during my time in the UK, and she was very helpful. The location of her home is excellent, with great public transport links (train, tube, bus) to many parts of London. The room looks out over Brockwell Park, which is a lovely view. As the room is at the back of the house, it is very quiet and there is no street noise - just occasional fox sounds from the garden and park! Contrary to other reviews we've read, the shower worked well!! Hilda provided some breakfast food, which was useful for early starts in the morning. Overall, I would recommend being hosted by Hilda.
