Marie was very nice and welcoming hostess. She explained how things worked. When I texted her she always replied immediately back. Marie invites you to make tea and toast for yourself. The room is very small but it is adequate for some days. Short walk to the tube (Piccadilly line), thus excellent for access to central London, King's Cross St. Pancras, Heathrow, and the Stansted Express. The apartment is very clean. Would stay there again.
