I stayed at Gloria's from April to June (~7 weeks) for a university hospital placement at The Royal London. This place was the most convenient for me when weighing up price and distance from work.
The area has 3 bedrooms which I shared with 2 other great people from Spain and Italy. The house was clean and cozy with a very homey feel. Gloria her self was very lovely. Always with a smile and always asking if there was anything else we needed. She was very helpful with everything from picking me up from the train station with my large suitcase to giving me pointers of where to go and easiest was to get around. As well, she was always quick to respond. She always kept us in the loop of what was happening in the house.
Foresthill itself area is safe with nice walkways and parks. Shops are about a 7 minutes walk.
One downside I found was that because I was about 40 minutes train ride to the city, public transport got a bit expensive but it did balance out with the cheap accommodation​.
