I stayed at Stella`s cosy garden flat for about 2 weeks in June 0f 2014. I think that is an ample time to get know her and provide a well rounded feedback.

IN SUMMARY: Stella has been a very respectful host and my stay was very delightful.

I will provide more detailed feedback on the host ( Stella) and her cosy garden flat.

THE HOSTESS ( this is very important especially when sharing a flat)
-Stella has been a very respectful host. Tony is also very Kind.
-She is generous, trusting, guest honouring and trust worthy.
-She made sure, without being asked, to stock her kitchen with eggs, cold cereal, milk, cheese, bread, coffee, tea etc.
-She welcomed me to use the enclosed patio overlooking the backyard.
-She has been very successful in making me feel right at home.
-She prepared nice scrambled eggs whenever she had the time.
-She helped point out some of London`s attractions and give precise direction.
-She helped place my laundry in the washing machine and dry them out.
-She behaved normally without making me feel as a stranger.
-She is not the nosy type and respected my privacy
-She engaged me in many intelligent conversations.
-She helped me get a refund from Airbnb for some money paid in excess of the rent.

THE PLACE (GARDEN FLAT)
-The flat has a great location right on the PicadellyTube Line ( 5 minute of slow walk from the station). It means a single trip from ( and back to the) the airport. This also great to connect with other tube lines and train stations.
-The area is safe and next to a nice park.
The area is full of Turkish and other restaurants.
-The bedroom area is just sufficient for two and has a closet, night stand and 2 chairs and radiator
-the living area is very spacious with 2 nice couches and wooden floors.
-the kitchen is modern, well decorated with gas stove, French coffee press, and electric kettle.
-the most beautiful part is the enclosed glass patio overlooking the back garden. That is a very special place to have tea and enjoy the rain without getting wet.
-her garden is well attended to and hosts many singing birds.

In summary, Stella is a well experienced and respectful host. Her place is very nice and I recommend it for lone travellers or couples.
