If you are a woman traveling alone in London, as I was, you couldn’t pick a better spot than Gillian’s home. A lovely room in a safe neighborhood. Gillian has provided a room with a tea/coffee kettle, and the makings for such, a fridge, plenty of books, tv, and your own very clean bath. She was very friendly and she and her family offered some much appreciated advice about local sites and locations. I’m not a breakfast eater and asked to skip that, but both she and her husband offered to make what I’d have liked. I’d be happy to stay again.
