We really enjoyed staying at Alexi's place. Both her and her mom were super nice and made us feel at home. The house is in a great place, near the tube station (just a 10 minute walk) and super friendly and safe :) You can get to center London in just a 25-30min tube ride. Bus stations near the place as well. The house has two cats that are so cute but good as well for people who are afraid of cats because they don't get too close to you. We completely recommend staying at Alexi's place.
