I was staying at Maria's wonderful country cottage during a several week long business trip. She is a wonderful host, very well organized and does everything to make you feel comfortable (including flowers :-)). Her country cottage is very cosy with tasteful interior. All pictures are consistent with the rooms. The private room has space for clothes/books but not too many luggage since it is relatively small, so I would recommend it for 1 person if you plan to stay longer. Everything is very clean and you have everything that you need such as dishwasher, wi-fi etc.. She also knows very well the neighbourhood and can give you a lot of information about pubs/restaurants/shops and nice walks in that area. Regarding transport you are close to tube and bus which makes it very easy to get anywhere in London. Neighbourhood is bohemian style and has several pubs, restaurants, shops including Sainsbury's. Otherwise, you are also very close to central London. So, if you are going to stay at her place, please say hello from me :-)
