Barbara was a generous and welcoming host. Her lovely flat is sparkling clean and close to some really nice restaurants, cafes, and pubs (Hart and Lova Bakery on Belsize Road is a new favorite). I particularly like that the bus stops right next to her building! And the overground is a short walk away.
Barbara was most attentive to my needs- she was available whenever I had questions, and gave me good advice on which charity shops I might like to visit. I felt like I was staying with an old friend; the atmosphere was so comfortable.
