Mariette is great, very enjoyable to talk with, and the room is a great economical option within an easy train ride of London and a short distance from Heathrow.

- Guests should be aware that the space is somewhat constrained--this was fine with me but could be an issue for others.

- IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TO HEATHROW: I should have listened to Mariette's advice to buy an Oyster card. :) The TfL employee at my first Tube station told me that it wouldn't be worth the £5 fixed cost for the card for less than 48 hours' stay and I'd do better with the £12 day pass. The day pass seemed like a good option, except when it came time to get to Heathrow--I wasn't aware that London buses NO LONGER ACCEPT CASH and couldn't easily purchase a pass in an early morning rush to the airport.

But to get back and forth to central London, the Brentford National Rail station is a 5 min walk and takes you right to Waterloo Station--such a breeze.

Overall, a great AirBNB experience!
