Colin is an amazing host. His home is located in a culturally diverse, vibrant neighborhood and quite easily reachable by public transit. The loft room is super clean and comfortable, spacious and you have a view across the roofs of Harlesden - if you stand on your tiptoes, you might be able to see Wembley Stadium. Colin provides more than the essentials like bedding and towels. There is shampoo and a hair dryer and even a flat iron and an adapter for plugs in case you forget to bring one for UK sockets (definitely needed that one). Breakfast with coffee, tea, juice and a variety of cereal is provided and you can look out the big window or watch the tortoise or the cats while enjoying it. I had a lovely stay with Colin and spent a lot of time in interesting and fruitful conversations with him. He knows London and how to get around and make the most of your time and he's happy to help with information. I would definitely recommend staying with him.
