Hilda is a friendly, kind, welcoming and thoughtful host. "I didn't put any flowers in the room, sorry, I got back too late"; however, a bowl of fresh fruit in the cosy, clean, comfortable and homely bedroom was an unexpected and much appreciated touch that more than compensated. A chat and a cup of lemon and ginger tea (a great variety to choose from) was followed by a good night's sleep, a morning shower, and a tasty breakfast of poached egg on toast and more fruit and tea - all prepared for me quickly and calmly - I had a train to catch and it was a positive start to the day. From Kentish Town to St Pancras being a short walk and even shorter train journey away (a matter of minutes) there was no need to panic! Hilda allows you to feel at home immediately and the atmosphere of her place is relaxed; at the same time, everything is well organised so that I didn't feel awkward staying in the house of a stranger - one page of clear notes is left in the room in an anticipation of any basic questions that might arise. I am pleased to have discovered Hilda's air bnb and stayed twice within one week (the second time, she had made a delightful little flower arrangement for the room from some plants growing outside her window) - both times feeling at ease and glad to have made her very pleasant acquaintance.
