Anne is a lovely host and maintains a beautiful home in the Battersea Park area of South London. She is often at home but is never a bother as she's almost always hard at work on her laptop or walking her 2 dogs.

The room is quiet and adjacent to both the bathroom and terrace with a lock on the inside. The bathroom is shared but it's never a problem as everyone is on different schedules (during my 4 night stay I never once saw the other guest nor did I have to line up for the bathroom).

The neighbourhood is very convenient by public transport via the #44 bus which takes you to Victoria tube station in a few minutes. Victoria Station is extremely convenient as it functions as a railway station, tube station, and Greyhound bus depot (so arriving by train to St.Pancras or plane to Gatwick can get you directly to the tube station). Sightseeing is easy from Victoria Station as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben are all walking distance and other sights such as Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, and Leicester Square are a short bus ride away (you can avoid taking the tube entirely). The station also has tourist information kiosk as well as guides who can assist with directions, sightseeing, and attractions.
