Sarah was a friendly and thoughtful host. She was kind enough to accommodate my sister for two nights at the beginning of my visit so we could do some traveling together and to provide me with a new fan so I could sleep more comfortably at night during the heatwave. Sarah is outdoorsy and environmentally conscious and her home reflects this. This part of Ealing is also very green and residential, with several nearby parks, and it’s easy to get to the countryside from here. The neighborhood is very quiet.
My room was very tidy, and the bathroom was clean and comfortable. Sarah gave me new towels and sheets regularly, and the room is equipped with an electric hot water kettle and tea and coffee bags and mug. Any requests I had regarding cleaning or extra towels were promptly seen to. Sarah was often busy and out of the house, but she was usually reachable by text or call. The only drawback of my stay was that the house is a bit crowded and feels awkward to navigate when others are staying or visiting. It can be hard to give other guests space and privacy and also get cooking/eating and showering done on time.
The nearest train stations are 15 minutes by walk (West Ealing) or 5 minutes walking + 15 minutes by bus (Ealing Broadway.) The Underground from EB takes about 25-35 mins to get into the city; the Overground will take about 15 mins to get to Paddington.
I highly recommend Sarah's place, especially for long term guests, as you will feel very much at home here.
