Polina is a warm an welcming host. The communication with her and her lovely charming daughter was efficient and straight to the point. The room was very nice, I particularly enjoyed the TV and the bed was very good. I felt very welcome and Polina cooked a nice breakfast with eggs on toast when she could. Muswell Hill is a quiet and beatiful area with nice shops, restaurants and pubs - I recommend the Mossy Well pub. Going to the city was easy - 10 mnutes by bus and then 20 minutes with the Tube, or you can take the bus all the way to the City.
