Karen is a great host and her place is as advertised. She was quick to respond to any questions via email or text. Even though we didn't meet her, we felt taken care of. Her apartment is cozy, comfortable, quiet, and has more than just basic amenities. Location is well-connected with public transit and supermarkets nearby, but the neighbourhood is quiet (we would never have known we were in a big city!) and feels very safe. This was a perfect place to have a relaxing weekend with easy connection to central London for sightseeing.
