Nicole was a warm and hospitable host and her home was very comfortable, charmingly decorated, and clean. Nicole responded quickly to all of my messages/e-mails, and provided helpful information. Check in and check out went seamlessly. Nicole's living room (where you sleep - on a very comfortable fold out sofa) has a door, so you genuinely have a private room.
Nicole's flat is a five minute walk from a tube station that can take you anywhere in London; I was able to quickly and easily visit numerous notable sites (Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, etc.). Even better, if you're a walker, the Tate, Globe Theatre, and Borough Market are just 15 to 20 minutes away by foot. There's also many great food options within walking distance, including a small grocery store that's open 7 days a week until 11pm. Nicole is full of tips about places to visit, eat, shop, etc., and can advise on how to use public transportation.
All in all, I highly recommend Nicole's place! It is a really lovely home base for a trip to London.
