The pictures were accurate, but I didn't expect the room to be so private. The room is in the back of the flat and is separated from the rest of the flat by the kitchen, and the window faces the garden. While I was there I hardly heard anyone. That peaceful solitude was much appreciated because I was usually exhausted when I got back from running around London. The modern bathroom and kitchen were also extremely convenient. Yet, the flat retained a neat Victorian feel that matched that of the neighborhood of Victorian brick house-lined streets and family-run restaurants.

The best thing about staying Keith and Maria's place, though, was Keith and Maria. They were extremely accommodating and nice. Keith picked me up from and dropped me off at the train station near his flat on the first and last days of my vacation. And while I was there, they offered to make me tea at least once a day, helped me call cabs and friends, and gave me advice about where to go and what to see. They made me feel at home and gave me the impression that they really wanted me to enjoy my vacation.

In short, Keith and Maria have a beautiful place and they are great hosts. I highly recommend you stay with them.
