Monica is an excellent host and a great person to talk to. Her house is lovely and very spacious and bright- having my own shower and balcony was great. She let me use her kitchen to cook and we watched the World Cup together! The location is very suburban and close to bus stops and train stations however it does take a while (an hour or so) to get to/from the centre of London (e.g. West End) . There's also a slight hill climb which is tiring at the end of the day. But great parks nearby where we could take little Charlie out for a run!
