This is a lovely light spacious room on the top floor of a family home, looking out on a beautiful garden. It’s very peaceful and private and Julia has equipped the room with all you need to make breakfasts and light meals, with fridge, microwave and crockery. Lots of tea choices, coffee machine and a vase of roses were much appreciated. The area is walking distance to shops and some good restaurants, and access into London via underground or bus (about 30-40 minutes, but depends where you want to go of course). Most of all the hosts were warm and welcoming. They are a lovely family and were very kind to invite me into some common areas of their home. We had some great conversations. As others have mentioned, you do have to pass through the downstairs part of the home to access the studio but this wasn’t a problem as you can easily walk directly upstairs. There are two cats and a sweet dog Monti in the downstairs part of the home, but even with a cat allergy this turned out to be totally ok for me, as the pets are not going upstairs and entering the studio. The only other thing to note is if you are sensitive to fragrance- there were some scented products in the house but mainly in the downstairs area and the hosts were very kind to help remove them from the studio, so check with them. Some of course will love a scented space, depending on your preference.
