Veryan is the sweetest hostess. She welcomed me warmly and was always responsive, and gave me the best recommendations for the immediate area. She let me have my space, but checked on me when we hadn’t talked for a while and I truly felt safe knowing that she cared, especially as a solo traveler. Her place was cute and the bedroom was perfect and comfortable. I had no issues feeling at home. Also, her location near Portabello Road can’t be beat, between great cafes, restaurants and proximity to the Ladbroke Grove tube station and busses. Highly recommend!
