What a delight to stay in a place that combines 1) a great, welcoming host, 2) an awesome house overall, 3) a great room, in specific, 4) a short, safe 10 minute walk to a Great Northern station.
My stay far exceeded my expectations, which were already high. The house looks even more beautiful up close, and every armchair, sofa etc that you can see is the most comfortable ever. This is a real home, not just a house that looks beautiful on photos- the room itself is even spacier that it looks on photos, with a soft mattress and fluffy bedding that Mary regularly changes. The bathroom is also big and perfectly renovated, as is the kitchen etc. Unique and eclectic style home, with many historic details. However, what really stands out is Mary. She really stands out with her kindness and willingness to help- she even phoned an unhelpful agent on my behalf and told me I could use her study room, another beautiful room.
Mary's dog, Molly, is the cutest, happiest dog and didn't once bark in my weekly stay there.
It would not be an overstatement in the least to say that you are doing yourself a real disservice if you find yourself in the beautiful suburbs of North London and you don't stay in Mary's home.
