Staying at Alison's place was great! It was unfortunate we didn't get to meet as she was out of town during my stay. Her house was easy to get to from Heathrow and very close to the Central line which brought me into town during the day. She was great at communicating specifics like directions to her house and where the key would be. Her house is in a quiet neighborhood and kept very clean. There was a corner store and sushi restaurant a few blocks away. Having breakfast available was also a huge convenience.

The only issue I ran into was that there were other people staying in some of the other rooms during my visit that came as a surprise to me. Normally, I wouldn't care. However, I would just want to know before hand so I could have been more careful to lock my bedroom door.

Anyway, it was a fantastic place to stay and I would definitely check it out again if I find myself in London.
