Josie was definitely the best host I could have imagined for my first week in London! She is a joyful and helpful person and I enjoyed chatting with her over some tea. Despite my late arrival she was waiting for me with a warm welcome, showing me around the house and explaining me the neighborhood. Her house is located in a quiet street but still close to all the amenities you might need during your stay. Bus stops, under- and overground stations are within a max. 10min walking range. Especially if you love cycling this is the perfect place for you! Josie can help you with finding the safest way through London's traffic and with tools for repairs. It took me (not used to driving on the left!) around 30-40min to reach the city center (Euston Station) by bike. I enjoyed my stay at Josie's home and would definitely recommend it to everybody.
