Our stay at John's place was very pleasant, and we slept very well each night. It's a very quiet room, there is almost no traffic at night. And it's nice to come to a room that has fresh air from an open window, rather than the forced air as in most hotels. The bathroom is very spacious and clean, and it's private. The hosts are really nice to chat with, ready to accommodate special requests and provide very good advice about exploring London.
Transportation is easy, either by train or bus. Two people could use the 2 for 1 special offered by the train company, as the train tickets from Gipsy Hill have the logo required for this. The bus number 3 is very convenient during the evening, it takes almost the same time as the train, since there is less traffic. We used it in the morning as well, and enjoyed the chance to watch the neighborhoods on the way to London, the people, their houses and little gardens.
Thank you again for your hospitality!
