I stayed with Shasca and Zen for 5 weeks while studying in London and everything went really well. From the moment I arrived it was friendly and relaxed. Shasca and Zen are fantastic hosts with a perfect balance of being available and happy to answer questions, and without being overly involved, or needing to know my exact movements. Shasca was especially good at letting me know if there were going to be other guests in the house, which was appreciated - it is always nice to know what you are coming home to.
The location was fantastic, with easy access to the tube, a couple of over-ground lines, and bus routes, making getting around easy, without having to change transport.
The neighbourhood also felt really safe, I was comfortable walking home alone late at night.
The kitchenette came in handy - I had breakfast at home most days and was able to pick up ingredients at the local shops to prepare dinner.
Overall a really enjoyable experience that I would happily repeat and recommend.
