Beeing able to live and work in my favorite city has always been my dream. And thanks to Mariam I have found a home in London.
On the day I arrived in London, she opened me the door with a warm and broad smile, she helped me with the laguage and show me the neighbourhood.
My room was wonderful, it was exactly the same room as in the pictures. I loved the view from my window, facing the garden with an apple tree.
In my room was also a desk and a chair, it was a great surprise, because it was not shown in the pictures.
The bed was very comfortable, I will realy miss it much! I got my own space in the bathroom and in the kitchen as well. Having a cupboard and a fridge space is great.
I had lovely house mates while I was here. Very friendly and polite. Sometimes we get together for a nice dinner or lunch although there were also days that I haven't seen one of them at all.
It made me felt like we were one big family. The house was tidy and clean. The area is a quiet and friendly neighbourhood with a park and stores within walking distance.
The next tube Station is only 10 minutes - and the buses only 5 Minutes away from Mariams house.
As a woman travelling alone, it was very important for me to find a safe neighbourhood to live in, so I can go out alone in the dark - working in the early hours or late at night in the winter months -
I am comfortable to say that I lived in a safe and peaceful area, safe enough for a woman to walk around on 3 am on her way to work, without getting mollested or something like that.
They have a lovely shopping street, with nice cafes, supermarkets and restaurants near her house.
About 10 minutes away lays a beautiful park with free outdoor gym and an indoor gym with swimmingpool is also not far away.
Mariam was always there for me when I need help or advice . She was always positive and gave me good recomendations. We had much fun together and I learned so much from her and my house mates.
I realy enjoyed the days when we sat together in the kitchen enjoying our coffees together and chatting about daily lives. My Christmas time in London was also a great experience.
Thank you so much for the marvelous time, Mariam. I would be very happy if you visit me someday in Germany, you will be always welcome!
