I have nothing but the highest praise for Dana and her family! They are so warm and welcoming and helpful and I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay during my last week in London. The room is lovely, with plenty of floorspace to maneuver around even with lots of luggage, the bed is super comfortable, and there is a private bathroom right next to the room with a very nice shower. Also, it really is literally just a 3 minute walk from the Tube, potentially even shorter if you're tall/walk really fast.

Dana and her whole family were terrific hosts. Though I arrived close to midnight, Dana and her sons were waiting up for me and very kindly carried my (very heavy) luggage up the stairs to my room, where there was a jug of ice cold water waiting for me, which was highly appreciated after a long and tiring train ride.

And from watching the Germany vs. Brazil game to talking about dance and Chicago to letting me in when I couldn't figure out how to open the front door and once again carrying my suitcases down the stairs for me the morning I left, I had a great time interacting with everyone. If I ever get a chance to come back to London, I would love to stay again!
