If you're looking for an experience that's more like a homestay, this would work nicely for you. The beautiful home is located in a lovely Kilburn neighbourhood near the high street and Queens Park (lovely restaurants). Josie is helpful for reccomending things you might need or want nearby and has good suggestions for those new to London (London native she is :) ). Josie is ready to treat you like a guest and likewise expects to be treated with respect. It's like staying at a house with rules for a family. If you're only used to staying on your own or in a hotel, there could be some adjustments for you. Josie was fun to cook with and chat with. Overall I had a nice time staying at her place and enjoyed meeting new people, like other tenants, and her friends and family. Appreciated living in this part of London, which is very multicultural yet still true to the city's roots in feel, something that's becoming harder to see with gentrification.
