I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ange made me feel comfortable with our plans from the very first messages, and everything posted about her place is absolutely accurate!

The area of London was ideal for what we wanted to do. Being such a short walk from restaurants, shops, and public transportation was ideal, and she sent incredibly helpful instructions about the immediate area and how to get around.

She has it worked out so getting in and out of her place is very easy, so we didn't need to worry about connecting or being anywhere at any particular time, which makes traveling less stressful.

Her home was scrupulously clean, tidy, comfortable, and cute. I probably could have just stayed in and read magazines, books, and travel guides, if I'd wanted! The kitchen is not big (for what I'm used to in America, anyway), but there is plenty of space and it's well-appointed. (We were there over Christmas and had no problem cooking a delicious meal.) She had left notes in many places which made us feel comfortable knowing what she didn't mind us using, and what was off-limits, which was nice because then I didn't feel any lack of certainty.

The bedroom was spacious for my daughter and I, so we didn't feel like we were tripping over our suitcases. There's a full bureau and wardrobe available, a very comfortable bed with nice lighting, comfy sheets, and plenty of blankets and pillows, and extra towels. And she really went out of her way to make it feel welcoming, with handy details like a spare hair dryer and umbrella, and nice toiletries for our use.

As it turned out, she wasn't there during our visit, so we had the whole place to ourselves. In many ways that was nice because we didn't feel awkward or intrusive, but she seems like such a kind and interesting person that I kind of wished we could meet! She made up for her absence by providing a lot of tips and ideas about London, and she checked in by message when we arrived and made sure we felt comfortable staying in touch as needed. I mentioned a problem I was having with a charger and she came right back with helpful suggestions.

I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a comfortable, homey place to stay while visiting London.
