I stayed with Viv for 4 months while I was doing an internship in London. I only have good things to say about her: she is a fun-loving person with a young spirit and a huge heart. She immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable in her home, and gave me advice on how to navigate London as it was my first time being there. The train station is a close walk down the street which will take you right into the city. The location is also great because there is a grocery store and pharmacy right around the block where you can easily pick up necessities. Her home is situated in a safe, beautiful neighborhood. I walked back to her place alone every night after work and on the weekends and never once felt nervous or uncomfortable (and that is very important as a solo female traveler!).

Overall, I am so happy that I chose Viv's place and I will miss her very much. She wasn't only a good host, but soon became a great friend. I would absolutely recommend to stay with Viv if you are traveling in London!
