Dennis was the gracious and helpful host I expected. The flat was an easy 3-4 minute walk from the tube station and easy to find (it's also very easy and quick to get to most major sights in London from Dennis's home). The room itself was comfortable, clean and quiet and as it was on its own floor--quite private. Upon my arrival (which was late and which he accommodated without complaint), Dennis gave me a wealth of information about dining, sights, and the neighborhood. After that, I came and went as I wished. The room had all that I required including tea and water. I enjoyed my stay in Dennis's home and can recommend it without hesitation. I only wish that I had had the chance to chat with Dennis a bit more, but the days and nights flew by, and here I am, home again.
