I stayed at Sally's place for two months this summer as a young woman traveling alone and could not have asked for a better home. The neighborhood is a safe and diverse family scene within walking distance of friendly cafés and restaurants that became local haunts for me, and minutes (or seconds!) from every kind of public transportation (bus, tube, Overground). The entire house is decorated in such a wonderful, whimsical way that anyone walking in would know immediately that Sally was an artist, and the particular room is absolutely charming—I loved waking up every morning to a skylight view in my comfy bed on the mezzanine.
Then, of course, there's Sally herself. Sally was the best host, confidant, and friend I could have wished for in my home away from home. She is caring, interesting, and interested, and I shared more memorable chats and laughs with her than I can count in my two months. Missing her and the gang (her two cats) very, very much!
