Stan and Monica are wonderful hosts. Even better, they've become friends with whom I'll keep in contact, whether my travels give me the opportunity to stay with them or not. Their big Victorian house is lovingly restored and in a great neighborhood. The room I stayed in for 8 weeks is huge, and well insulated, so I wasn't disturbed by any of the other guests, and they didn't disturb me. The other guests and I cooked frequently in the modern, well-equipped kitchen, which became a bit of a social center for us. There are half a dozen buses within a 2 minute minute walk, and the Archway Underground Station is nearby. Lots of restaurants and shops are also very close. Overall, a great experience, and great value for the money.
