I cannot say enough nice things about the host or this location. Carole's Super Host status is well deserved, and she has a beautiful home. She is an exceptionally kind, attentive, engaging, and interesting lady, who knows a lot about the area and the local attractions. The common area and room are exactly as advertised. The kitchen is well appointed and spacious with an oven, microwave, and fridge space (no freezer space). It is an easy 10-15 min walk to a nice Marks and Spencer grocery store. Also easy walking distance (about 10 min) to get to the 110 bus stop which will take you to Sainsbury's.
I spent a month at this location at never had any issues. This place is perfect for researchers - about a 10 min walk to the National Archives. Also close to the Kew Gardens.
The next time I come back to the London area I will check this place for availability first.
