Abbie's place is tucked in a lovely leafy street, just minutes away from Balham station. I arrived late after a long day and had a lovely warm welcome, with Abbie taking the time to give me a little tour of the house and a few tips on local spots where I could get some food and a drink. The room is right at the top of the house, and feels very private, with a wonderful bathroom shared only with her son, who I don't think I saw once! The bed is super comfy and I slept very well, its also lovely and quiet, and the velux blinds mean the light doesn't wake you in the morning (as it has in some attic rooms I've stayed in). Had a lovely chat and great coffee before having to leave the next morning, and the added bonus of ample on-street parking (restriction free over the weekend) meant it was easy for me to pop on the train to meet my friend in Central for lunch, and not have to worry about parking. Overall it was a great experience and I will be back if I'm in the area again :)
