A single traveler can't do better than Charlotte's place as a home base. The location is so convenient for getting around by bus or tube (near 24 bus, and Victoria and Pimlico stations. Charlotte greeted me with tea and biscuits the day I arrived exhausted and rained-on from a long flight. She was so friendly and helpful with tips, including with messages before I arrived. She was right on about trying buses for the sake of seeing the city above ground as you travel. Bed and shower room were impeccably clean and comfy. Loved the electric blanket!
