This is a great place to be introduced to the local community in the big city of London. Kate made me so welcome and helped me do everything I needed to arrange to renew my british passport. The room is really comfy with everything you need. Superbly comfy bed, plenty of storage space for your gear, tea and coffee facilities. Your private shower room even had some lovely radox wash. The dog is absolutely loveable, big but a softie although a good guard dog. The cat just slinks in and out and goes upstairs. I can really recommend this place as superb value for money. As kate tells you the place is on a flight path. I was surprised though that it wasnt noisier but it was winter and the windows were shut. It certainly didnt stop me watching the many channels of sky tv available in my room and Kate provides good earplugs if you need them.
