The host made me feel very welcome. She was organised and had her neighbour give me the key. The house is lovely, just as the photos show. The neighbourhood is also very special - views of Chiswick Garden from the bathroom and also very close to the Thames path. The high street is only a 10-12 minute walk and has plenty of cafes and pubs as well as a Waitrose and Tesco. I had some friendly conversations with Claire, but we were both in and out so the balance suited me well.
