We stayed 5 nights at Susan and Derek's place and felt extremely at home as they were very accommodating to our needs. We had full access to the kitchen and helped ourselves to the breakfast items in the kitchen. House was very conveniently located(less than 5 mins by bus, you can even walk if the weather in nice) to the Boston Manor station on the Piccadilly Line. It just took us a day or two to learn to use the subways to reach all the attractions in London and Derek was kind enough to check in advance how to use the subway trains for several places of interest. On taking the flight home, Boston Manor is just 20 mins to Heathrow. For travelers get an Oyster travel card and top up whenever you need.
The room was exactly as pictured and a very spacious and a clean ensuite bathroom with a heated towel rack. Nearby we found two very nice restaurants, a pub called Forresters which served authentic Thai cuisine and Andy's Fresh Fish&Chips which to me was the best I've had. As its not in downtown London the prices are very reasonable. We even had the rotisserie chicken one night and it literally melts in your mouth!!
We were sad to leave our lovely hosts and furthermore there's still many parts of London and England that we've not been but we shall return!!
