I stayed with Maria for a month in July 2014 and I can warmly
recommend Maria's room for anyone looking for a place to stay in
London, short-term or long-term.

Maria's home is a beautiful and spacious Edwardian style house in a peaceful neighborhood. It has great connections to central London by
train or by tube: it takes only about 30 minutes by train to be at Piccadilly Circus.

In addition to the room I had for myself, I was able to use the
bathroom, the living room, the kitchen and the nice garden. The bed
was comfortable and the temperature in the room never got too high despite the exceptionally hot weather. I slept better than ever. The shower worked well and there was enough hot water. Maria keeps the house clean and tidy.

There are several nice parks, shops, pubs and restaurants just next
door. The area is safe. I did not feel uncomfortable walking around
by myself at any time of the day.

Maria prepared a delicious and healthy breakfast for me every morning
according to my wishes and time schedules. There were always delicious
cakes and cookies with tea or coffee available for me to enjoy. We had some interesting discussions over breakfast and a great time watching football on TV!

Before my arrival, Maria sent me detailed travel instructions and met me at the train station when I arrived. She showed me the best shops and pubs in the neighborhood, and gave some great tips on where to visit in London. She was a very hospitable and friendly hostess in all respects. She really made me feel welcome and I am already looking forward to my next trip to London and the possibility to meet Maria again.
