I stayed in Maria's place for a month. It’s a comfortable Edwardian terraced house. Maria went out of her way to show me the local area, and was very accommodating throughout my stay. The Thameslink is a 5 minute walk away, which gets you to central London in 25 minutes. Hendon is a peaceful middle class area, with some nice parks and Brent Cross shopping centre nearby. The room is ideal for a single traveller, with plenty of storage space and a quaint first floor view. For any musicians, the piano is an added bonus. I highly recommend this to all!
