My stay with Silke has been great and her daughters were really nice. They really welcomed me into their home with open arms. I arrived late at night (later than expected) but Silke was ready for me and the room was ready for me to sleep right away after a long trip. The location of her place is great to get into central London. Balham station is just nearby with great connections to the rest of the city. I stayed for a month due to work and I was able to get into work every day without any problems.
