Shirley is a very good host, always paying attention in all details about your comfort and security. You get a spacious, clean and comfortable room, ideal for home work, in a typical London house. You are let to use the kitchen, and the washing machine. The location is in a quiet and safe neighborhood, at walking distance (if you do not want to ride a bus), from Turnpike Lane tube station. I really enjoyed my stay at her house and felt very welcome. (Fuzzi, the lovely Japanese dog is an additional attraction).
