Alison's place is in a very quiet section of Kentish Town in North London - it's not even on a road, so no traffic noise. Conveniently located five or six minutes walk to the nearest Tube station, so no car is needed. Two public houses (one a gastropub) within three minutes walk (very important to real ale afficianados), Hampsted Heath only five minutes away, and the market at Camden Town 20 minutes walk makes for a great location.
Alison was an outstanding host - very friendly and welcoming and pointed us in the right direction for restaurants and traveling in and around London. Our room was quiet and It felt like a home away from home for us.
