Simon is a very kind and easygoing fellow. The house and the garden are gorgeous and the neighbourhood is very quiet. If you're coming with a kid, there's a great playground nearby. If you are visiting Brunel University, as we did, it is less than a 25-minute walk to the campus and a pleasant walk to Uxbridge, too. There are several easy bus connections to/from Heathrow airport. Overall a great host, and a great stay,
