Hilda was an excellent host! She was flexible with our very late arrival the first night and greeted us with a smile and a pot of tea. In fact, we stayed up for about an hour learning all the ins and outs of London-- so valuable! Hilda was great about making my husband and I feel welcome without encroaching on our privacy. The room was very tidy and the proximity to the bus stop was such a plus. Literally within a one minute walk from the front door. The tube was only 15 minutes walk as well or about 2-3 bus stops from the house. We really enjoyed our time in London with Hilda, she made sure we made the most of our trip!
