I experienced a genuine "british home" led by a most friendly, considerate, reliable and helpful person. Lucille shared her home with me - bathroom, living room, garden and kitchen - I was especially happy to be able to do my own cooking when I felt like it. At the same time, I could withdraw into my own bedroom when I needed quiet.
Lucille was prompt in replying to all messages already before my arrival. I got all the informations I asked for and felt very welcome. I could find all the places I needed to visit with the help of Lucille using her ipad (all non touristic places all over Greater London).
I had an iron in my room, a hairdryer, a warm and comfy bathing gown, I got slippers from Lucille and towels. The only thing missing was an adapter for my European plug - but this is also in the room now.
There are buses and a tube station near this address as well as a beautiful nature path for my early morning walk!
If you are sensitve to smoke, you should let Lucille know. She is happy to smoke outside. Her dog is most lovable.
