Renovated room is very comfortable. Great wi-fi for planning the final details of our days. Overall wonderful place to stay, close to underground and National Rail for travel to any part of London you need. We brought a car with us from our earlier time in Scotland but it was not needed as we could hop the nearby train. We even did day trips to Oxford and Dover. Very convienient.
Host family is very accommodating and welcoming. House is close to the tracks which run until nearly midnight and start early in the morning. Something to consider if you are a very light sleeper.
