Caroline is a very warm and welcoming host and I felt at home as soon as I entered her flat (I even got offered some dinner). The place is very cosy with lots of beautiful art work. I wasn't concerned about hearing the tube in the distance and got used to the quiet rumble very quickly. It even had a calming effect on me. The room is quiet and you can even hear the birds from the garden in the morning. It's wonderful that there are outside places to sit and enjoy a taste of nature in the middle of a very exciting and vibrant part of London with everything you could need close by. The stay with Caroline was very easy and uncomplicated and I would highly recommend her place.
