I stayed in Marie's flat for a month, to start a new job in London. When I arrived at the flat, I was pleasantly surprised that Marie had upgraded me from the small room to the medium room! This helped me big time in settling in comfortably after the long flight. The cleanliness of the flat is impeccable, and gives you the motivation to maintain it. Despite being in Central London, the neighbourhood is super quiet even on weekends, and in the day you might spot a couple of squirrels playing in the lawn. One thing I can't stress enough, given my knee injury, was the convenience of having the rooms, kitchen and bathroom all on the ground floor. After using the washing machine in the kitchen, I used to take my clothes to the dryers at a couple minutes walk and use the time to get some essentials from the convenience store next to the dryers. There is also a Santanders bike stand at a minute's walk from the flat, which was super convenient for my daily commutes to office. And in all this, what really helps is that Marie is great, very helpful and always has time for your queries despite her busy schedule. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my stay and couldn't have asked for a better way to start a new life in London!
