Gillian's house is very centrally located, close to bus and tube. Ideal for exploring London. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was a nice courtyard to chill in when needed. The hosts were very good with communication and entry was very easy as a result.
Two gripes though - the advert said breakfast was provided. I was asked on arrival if I needed breakfast, which made me feel embarrassed, when it was part of the deal. I was asked if scrambled egg on toast was ok, but I said just toast and jam would be fine. Then was asked if 9am would be ok! On holiday, one would expect breakfast to be provided between 7.30-9, as most people have lots of sightseeing to do. Anyway, it was provided by 8.30, which was good - one piece of toast and a pot of coffee with jam and butter. I had to ask for 2 pieces! One would expect at least 2 choices of jam as well. The 2nd to last day, they offered breakfast at 9.10am - far too late for me. Also, I was told that their cleaner came during my stay. I think that's on the nose, as I wanted to ensure my stuff was secure, no matter how long they had employed her for. So I packed up my stuff and locked it in my suitcase. I was also asked at 9am when I was leaving for the day. For heaven's sake, I paid for the use of a room and for cleaning AFTERWARDS, not during my stay and certainly not being asked to leave. It was the one occasion, however, when breakfast came nice and early!
