Sam was a lovely host and thought about our needs as we were traveling. She was quiet and gone most of the days. Sam has the perfect temperment for hosting!!! As a traveler from the United States, I must admit that when I arrived, I was very surprised by the size of the flat, or the lack of room, as I thought. But really, London is tight and space is a luxury. Sam made THE BEST our of her place and I don't think she could have done anything better. She had umbrellas, water, maps and tissues for us and provided a cereal breakfast with coffee i the morning. The little kitchen corner is her clever way of giving guests their own little table to eat at and enjoy her cereal, yogurt, dried fruits and tea.
So, if you are looking for luxury, this is not a place for you (read her description, she basically tells you how it is), but if you are traveling alone (or a couple who easily compromises small quarters), stay with Sam. She is really lovely and best part...... she's less than a block away from an Underground station (Berdmondsey).
