Caroline was an excellent host. She made me feel very welcome, starting with letting me check in at an ungodly hour of the morning, and helping me to settle in and rest after a marathon flight, and continuing with plenty of advice and help with living in London throughout my stay.

The room was plain but well kept, pleasant and very comfortable. The house as a whole was very nice, with good kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The local area was fairly pleasant and well serviced, with overground stations, buses, supermarkets and grocers all within 10 - 15 minutes walk. Some of the locals tended to congregate in parties on the street in the evening, which was at first a little off-putting, but they turned out to be fairly friendly, and I felt pretty safe walking around at night on my own (although I was not out very late).

Overall, I would strongly recommend this as a place to stay! (After all, during my stay, some of the neighbourhood cats even came and asked to stay over!)
