Simone is extremely welcoming and very hospitable. She constantly made sure I had enough to eat or drink. She helped me with directions and basic information. I was staying at Simone's because I was seeing a concert at Alexandra Palace, which is just a short 5 minute walk from her home. I was waiting in line all day, but before I left Simone even gave me a blanket to take with me while I waited. She is an excellent host and! her home is a very comfortable place to stay I highly recommend her place to anyone!
