We had a pleasant stay at Kalpna and Shakeel's place - this was our first visit to London. Kalpna was very helpful and responsive during the booking process. She also arranged for a cab to pick us up from the airport and had graciously kept some milk and bread for our toddler that we could use upon arrival. She had also purchased Oyster cards which we were able to use during our stay to travel around London. Shakeel gave us tips and helped us find restaurants when we were out and when we did not have access to internet! To sum it up, there were very warm and gracious hosts.

The house itself has two sections and one will have absolute privacy. The house is a few yards away from a bus stop. Within two bus stops, one could access to the trains on Central Line - Central London is about 30 minutes away by train. If one were to walk, the station is about 20-23 minutes away - not a bad walk on a good day. There were times when we returned late (after 9 pm or so) after a long day of sightseeing but the buses were not frequent at that time. We were able to walk with our stroller/pram/buggy but wished we had a ride back! That minor point aside, this is a great place to stay for people visiting London.
