We were met on arrival and shown through the studio. Very clean and tidy with a few treats supplied by the hosts - fresh fruit and toiletries. Although on the Heathrow flight path the studio was remarkably quiet. Only aware of aircraft when Windows or doors were open. The studio is only a few minutes walk from the Kew Gardens tube Station and the neighbourhood appears very safe. supermarket and other stores very handy. The only pitfall for us was no clothes washing facility, but we would have known this had we read the description properly.
