Madeleine really couldn't have been more helpful nor kind. I found her lovely apartment a welcome retreat - so obviously a much cherished home full of lovely books and paintings and overmuch reflective of Madeleine herself. She let me have full access to her kitchen and bathroom - all meticulously clean and a plentiful supply of teas, coffee etc. Everything made it a very comfortable stay. I was visiting family who all live in south London but actually this is ideally situated as East Dulwich station is only a 10 minute walk and from there its 20 minutes to London Bridge. I didn't see much of Madeleine other than when she showed me around and gave me keys as I was very busy but she contacted me during the stay to see if there was anything I needed additionally which was appreciated, ( and I didn't as everything had been thoughtfully provided including an umbrella, guide books,hairdryer and more). i wouldn't hesitate to recommend this and indeed would like to return next time I am in London- hopefully less busy ! Worthy of mention is Madeleines beautiful container garden with honeysuckle and jasmine around the front door- truly a little haven of peace.
