Shanta is very friendly and welcoming. The room was as described, and the house has everything you need for a short or extended stay. Trains run frequently to Victoria, making it easy to reach Central London quickly. Dulwich Village is quaint and safe and the Dulwich Picture Gallery (England's oldest public art gallery) is a short walk away. It is important to note that the house is situated close to the train tracks, so there is some noise, but nothing that has impeded my sleep. It has been a comfortable stay and I would stay here again if the opportunity arose.
