This is a really good example of what it's like to stay in a room in someone's home. It's not for everyone, but as a solo female traveller I love it because it makes me feel safer than a hotel or full home rental. This room is great because it has a private bathroom, and although the room is pretty small, it has a desk and a TV and if you're a solo traveller and don't have a lot of belongings to spread out or plan to do any activities in there, then the size is fine.
The area is amazing especially if you like walking - the bus is only a few minutes walk and the tube isn't very far either. The area around the tube station also has tons of food and shopping options, including vegan. But if you don't mind long walks, you can walk to almost anywhere in central London. But the home has the added bonus of being very quiet, without much street noise at night.
Jacqueline is a friendly, bubbly person and is happy to offer tips, advice, and general conversation when she's free. She goes out of her way to make sure guests are comfortable and enjoying themselves. The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to be a fairly neat, quiet, considerate, and open-communicating person to stay here - I think that's probably why there are some negative reviews because not everyone wants to worry about that on vacation. You can see the list of rules on the listing, and there were also some additional issues that we had to speak about. But it's just because it's someone's home and she is living and working there, and has to worry about cleaning up, so you have to be considerate. Otherwise, it's better to stay in a hotel where they will usually tolerate anything.
Overall for me it's a great place to stay, it was my second time and I would go back again.
