I spent a month staying at Karin’s place whilst on placement in central London. It is a lovely house in a quiet yet perfectly located street. The tube and supermarkets at the end of the street means it’s very convenient even if you’re commuting into the centre. Nicely situated between the “posher” Balham and the more vibrant Tooting, there’s a lot to do/eat/drink in walking distance as well. It is also very close to lots of green space, which was really great. The house itself is spacious and homely, and has everything you need and more. The bedroom is nicely tucked away at the back of the house with a view of the garden - which made it feel surprisingly peaceful for London. It is really well decorated, with a comfy bed and even comfier sofa! The bathroom is very spacious with an excellent shower!
Karin and family are all extremely welcoming and helpful, they not only provided great hospitality but gave me plenty of tips about the local area which were invaluable.
In summary, this is an excellent place to stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in South London.
