Alison was a great host and her whole family (her two children) were also friendly. I spent almost 3 months there and my stay was overall lovely. The house was relatively small but homey and my room itself has all the amenities I could possibly need; double bed, spare duvet with extra sheets and cover, TV, great wifi connection, plenty of storage spaces in drawers and closet. I especially like the little thoughtful things she added in my room, like a few toiletries, notes and pen, London guide books and an umbrella. Her house has only one shower room so we have to work a schedule for taking baths with the family (but it's okay for me since I almost always leave for work much earlier in the morning), but luckily the toilet is in different room, downstairs right next to my bedroom. The kitchen was also near and has all the utensils you could need (no microwave though, but that's okay because I cook my own meals from scratch or use the oven). There is a little glitch about the noise because the floor was quite creaky and the walls quite thin so you can hear everything outside your room, but there's always earplugs for that. Communication with Alison was also very good, she responded quickly by whatsapp or email and helped me through check in and check out. She was also very easy to talk to around the house.
The location was good, it is in a quiet and family-friendly neighbourhood with a convenience store very close by, a nice little coffee shop round the corner and bus stop exactly across the house. Archway station (northern line) is 8 minutes walk and lots of restaurants and supermarkets around the station.
It was definitely a great value for staying in longer time when in London and I would highly recommend Alison's place to anyone looking for a comfortable and homy place to stay.
