Shirley is really one of the most amazing people I have met in my life. 2 nights in her house were enough for me to tell my mum, my girlfriend and a few other friends about her. She's amazing!!!
I literally needed a bed in Clapham because I was taking part in the BHF's London to Brighton bike race. To my utter surprise, I met one of the most welcoming, friendly and caring person in the world! As an added bonus, her house was perfectly located 5 minutes from the start line in Clapham Common.
Me and Shirley literally never ran out of stuff to talk about because she has a wide knowledge about literally anything. From football to the Lord of the Rings. Am not joking!!! Ask her how Arsenal football club got their name if you don't believe me.
The house was very clean and located in a quiet neighbourhood. The bed was exactly what I needed! Very comfortable! I slept like a baby before and after my bike ride.
Breakfast was included and she makes some delicious home-made bread.
Both myself and her other guest were a bit under the weather at the time of stay. Me from a lack of sleep and the other from a chest infection. Shirley never stopped supplying the lemons and honey and camomille teas to make sure we recover. She even packed me a sandwich at check-out!
You definitely have to stay at Shirley's if you ever need a place in Clapham. You will not regret it. I have definitely found a home in Clapham!!!
