I was very lucky to be Svetlana and Alex’s guest. My experience was beyond what I expected. To say this was my home away from home would be the least. I messaged Svetlana about the cleanliness of the place and she told me she takes care of that but it’s up to me. I was hesitant because I had issues with some places. When I arrived I found it to be extremely clean. I had a delay in my arrival and Svetlana and Alex said that works for them. When I arrived took Alex was kind enough to carry my bags upstairs for me. They showed me the house and invited me for tea.
The day before my arrival I injured my ankle so it was a bit swollen. Svetlana was caring enough to notice and ask about it. She gave me cream for it.
My stay was beyond comfortable. I loved chatting and learning from them. I learned a lot about London and even Russia through them.
The house itself is close to the train station to go into central London, and close to grocery stores and shops for necessities. The room was big and had a comfortable rocking chair for reading. The bed was comfortable too. The sheets were soft and clean. The room is probably the cleanest I have seen. There was plenty of lighting too inside the room. Super comfortable room. The host also vacuumed it often when I was there which was perfect!
They were super hospitable hosts! They went to Greece for vacation and shared the foods they brought back. Svetlana also made homemade pancakes and Russian cheesecake for breakfast on the weekend. There was a healthy breakfast of muesli and granola on other days. There is also coffee(a nespresso machine ) and English tea.
I really felt safe and at home here. I would highly recommend you book this experience.
