My daughter and I had a delightful stay in this comfy room in a welcoming house right in the heart of London. We had never stayed in a shared space before and we weren't quite sure we would like it. I have to say that I have been converted! Brothers Toby and Matthew were friendly, gracious, and super helpful with suggestions and insights. Their advice was gold to two London newbies! Matthew even did a load of laundry for us! (He insisted when I asked if I could use the washing machine.) We absolutely loved the sweet elderly cat and the whole house feels friendly.
The house looks a bit different than it does in the pictures, partly because pictures can't capture the various levels and partly because there has been some painting and redecorating. I really love the new colors! It also is lived in by permanent residents, in addition to fellow guests, so it is a bit more cluttered than minimalistic spaces, but not in a bad way. It is very clean and neat. The shared garden was lovely and peaceful and the private garden was handy for a quick step outside.
The location is AMAZING. We walked a lot and took surprisingly little public transportation because most things we did were just a 10-20 minute walk away. The British Museum is practically around the corner and the theater district is very close.
My daughter and I had a delightful stay with good communication and fun conversations. It made me feel like I unexpectedly made new friends in this huge city. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!
