Murielle's place is a rare treat for the adventurous traveller finding themselves in London for a few days, and is a welcome reprieve for those seeking a bit of a different London experience to "the norm."

Located in a culturally diverse suburb a bus drive away from the nearest tube in a most picturesque canal-side setting, this is an up-close and personal experience of real London-family life. It's as if you're staying with a beloved aunt.
Murielle is a delightful personality, genuinely interested in her guests' well-being (even at 12:30 at night when you arrive after a 20-hour flight and airport delays), always available with great coffee for a chat. Her young daughter is as engaging and entertaining (someone give this kid a recording contract, quick!) and Ziggy the chatty cat imparts good and comforting animal energy to the place.
You are living with a family so the usual family considerations are required but you are very much afforded as much of your own privacy and space as you need it.
Bring your walking shoes and be sure to spend some time exploring the lovely house-boat lined canals and skip the bus ride for a walk to the nearest tube station (Seven Sisters) to get a real sense of the neighbourhood and the community.

Clean, comfy and great value for money, you arrive to a family of strangers and cannot help but leave behind a family of friends. I would heartily recommend this place and look forward to being able to one day return to visit Murielle and her lovely family.
