A cozy room that gets lots of light on a peaceful street in South London; Wandsworth/Balham/Tooting area is close to Central London but is also a great respite from tourism madness. At the same time, the neighbourhoods are still lively, with lots of shops and amenities close by.
Shirley was a delightful hostess! It was great to chat with her over a cup of tea, and she made me feel right at home the minute I arrived. I felt autonomous but taken care of! I also really appreciated that I could be in and out often and with ease, even when returning late after a concert, for example.
Her home is truly warm and welcoming; I really found peace there. I also enjoyed the plentiful teas and coffee available, as well as fresh bread!
