It was a pleasure to stay at Allan's house! Everything was as advertised and more.

The place was very close to the train station and also to some nice local cafes and shops. Our room had a hair dryer, London travel guides, a luggage weight scale, cards for local cab companies (which we used on our last day) and more useful items for travellers. Although we didn't see too much of Allan during our stay, he was very accommodating and lovely when we did.

Bottom line: highly recommended!
