Staying with Farida was a wonderful experience and I can't recommend her more as a host. Her peaceful guest room and the joined guest bathroom are both beautiful, clean and well tended for. The old house has atmosphere unmatched by any hotel, and we loved meeting Farida and her dog and getting their tips for making the most of our time in London during the August heat wave. The whole vicinity is a treasure, with options for long walks, morning tea at the park next door, or exploring Hampstead high streets and the good public transport connections. Communicating with Farida was smooth and delightful, and I can't wait to be able to stay with her again in the future.
