Simone was an incredible host! My two friends and I were in London for a concert at Alexandra Palace and our accommodation fell through very last minute (night of concert). Simone was kind enough to welcome us to her home last minute into a lovely, spacious room with a large bed for two, and an extra mattress brought in for the three of us to stay in the same room. Her place is walking distance to Alexandra Palace in a friendly area. It is very easy to get into city centre from the Wood Green tube station (just a quick bus stop away). She was very helpful with ways to get about and things to do, as well as even organizing a taxi to bring us to the airport bright and early. The full breakfast she made us in the morning was gorgeous and so was the late night spaghetti after the concert! With out a doubt I will be staying with Simone every time I come back to London, if she'll have me :)
