My stay at Reneé's house was wonderful. Everything was great, the walk from the tube to the house is about 8 - 10 minutes, depends on your route, but once you get to the house it's a treasure. You will be greeted by Spartakus, Reneé's dog. So if you don't like dogs, this isn't the place for you. Once you get in, the bed is comfortable, sheets are warm (for the winter time) , the room is a good size, you have a TV, kettle , tea, microwave,- (do note that you can't use the kitchen but you get all the appliances to make tea and dinner like a cup, plates, sugar etc etc right in your room. The room is a walk up one flight of stairs and it's a warm, comfortable stay. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in town for a while- it's more of a long stay type of place. It's located in zone 5 if you're taking the tube.
There are many places to shop and eat not too far from the house (less than a 15 minute walk everywhere) and Reneé is a very interesting conversationalist. I felt so comfortable while I was there. I will definitely be back if I'm coming back to London.
