I came to stay at Matthew's for a short while when I moved to London for work. It was not an easy time for me being so new to London :), but I am grateful to have found such a wonderful friendly host and a room that made this difficult time not only bearable but pleasant.
The house, the room and the bathrooms are impeccably clean, and Matthew is a great host, always willing to help in case needed, discreet and not intrusive, and very thoughtful! He provided me with helpful pre-check-in details and neighbourhood information and was always quick to respond to any of my messages.
As for the amenities, they were exactly what I needed, let me put it this way: expect a very comfortable, well kept, clean, charming room, not the modern type, but the warm and elegant type. If you are a birds lover, I was enchanted by a robin every morning and every evening. If you need a good sleep, the room is in a quiet area on a side road, so no noise bothering you. In the few moments I watched the garden, it made me think of the story of The Secret Garden :), I regret not having time to spend there.
Plenty of storage space available in the room for my entire moving luggage, the area is well connected to the city centre, it took about 30-35 minutes at rush hour to get from Fenchurch Street here.
If I’m ever a tourist in London again, I’d consider myself lucky to be able to come back here. I felt like in a friend’s house.
