Mariam is amazing. She makes you feel at home at all times, and she will help you with tips for the city, at home or anything! It's a nice neighborhood, the house is close to markets and you can find about everything just walking. it's close to bus stops and Dollis Hill subway (tube) station, wich you can take and go anywhere, a week pass on an oyster card is recommended, it's the cheapest way if you are taking lots of trains or buses and staying more than a week. I really don't know what else to say. the host, Mariam, is wonderful and adorable. the house is comforting and neat. we had no problems and we (me and girlfriend) are really thankful for Mariam's hospitality and for everything. We hope to stay with Mariam more times when visiting London!
