I cannot possibly recommend Vanessa enough. Check in was a breeze and she is one of the kindest, sweetest and most accommodating people I have ever met. It was an absolutely pleasure to stay with her from day one. The room was impeccable, she even helped me to get settled in and I really felt welcome in her home. She even made sure that I knew I was welcome to contact her if I had any questions or concerns about my stay.
If you’re staying for a day or for much longer, this is the perfect place. Located near a 24 hour bus route to central London and just a short walk to a tube station as well means you won’t ever feel limited if you’ve got the time to explore. If you’re just there for a few days however Vanessa has some fabulous local recommendations within walking distance to make sure you’re still getting the most out of your time there.
More so, on what was to be my last day, I got very ill with a high fever. Vanessa was on top of it, suggesting the best way for someone from another country to get medical attention. She even walked me through booking a few more nights so that I could recover before needing to jump straight on a plane and offered to help in any way (providing a lovely tomato soup that absolutely brought the comfort of home to a very sick girl).
If you’re a female traveler looking for a cute, welcoming home to stay in, you can’t find a better place than Vanessa’s.
