Lilian as a host provided a great personal experience and was forthcoming with advice and tips on ‘making it’ in London. The room was cosy and warm. It had a TV as well but I did not use that much as I was exploring the lovely neighbourhood. I had access to a private bathroom which allowed me to take an amazing hot shower, each morning (turn the dial to the left slowly as it can get really hot).
Most importantly the neighbourhood was spectacular, there were plenty of restaurants, shops, and salons with an Asian supermarket (Tawana) close by and a Nando’s round the corner. The apartment is accessible from Bayswater station as well as walking distance (around 15 min) to Hyde Park. Overall, Lillian’s place was great for my short stay.
