My husband and I stayed in her flat from 25th until 28th of June this year for three nights, and both of us had the most wonderful time staying in her place. Her flat is located on the third floor (or fourth floor depending on how you count), and is very well lit all throughout the day receiving abundant sunlight and a lot of fresh air from outside, rather cherished commodities in London.

Her choice of furnitures including the bed (and the comfy beddings), and the sofas, flowers and plants, also many paintings show brought back from Zimbabwe gives the place a splendid and warm atmosphere. A discerning person would notice she has taken extra care to use the spaces efficiently giving every corner a unique atmosphere. We were comfortable taking our shoes off because the carpet has been kept in very good order.

The location is superb with buses 139 and 189 connecting to Oxford Street and Waterloo Station, and links to Jubilee Line in nearby St. John's Wood underground station. Reaching O2 Centre on foot is also possible where you may buy groceries and other items in a large Sainsbury's or Habitat, with Waterstone's and Home Depot as well.

But, location wise, both of us really enjoyed the fact that her flat is close to Regent Park and Primrose Hill (providing a wonderful view of London) where my husband went out for his morning run for a good 15km while we stayed. Also, for Beatles fan, Abbey Road crossing (although not genuinely preserved) is very close by allowing you to meet other fans and tourists.

I also need to mention that she generously allowed our couple to use her shed after we checked out until we were ready to leave to Heathrow.

We have been to London quite a few times since '08 staying in Maida Vale and near King's Cross Station, also in Park Road, and we would definitely return to her place on our next trip to London.
