Vilma and her husband were wonderful hosts. I truly felt like an honored guest and not just another "boarder." Their home is extremely comfortable and on a nice quiet street of red brick row homes. The room is spacious with a nice firm bed, three big windows facing the street, a big desk with internet links to work, and private bath with shower. In the mornings Vilma & Co. would join me for a hearty breakfast (cereal, eggs, grainy bread, strong Colombian coffee, fruit) we would prepare together. Vilma knows London extremely well and is generous about sharing her knowledge. She has great recommendations for cultural attractions, local transit, food, etc. If you are looking for a straightforward, comfortable accommodation at a very reasonable price (and don't mind walking a bit to get to the tube), this is a very good choice. Some other tips; Battersea Park right next door is gorgeous. The Prince Albert pub right around the corner is a homey, old-fashioned place where regulars come with their lap dogs.
