I stayed with Alison for almost a month. I had never been to London before and was a bit anxious before my arrival about how smooth settling in would be. Staying at Alison's made me feel welcome and safe from the moment I entered her house.
The room itself is clean, spacious enough and facing the garden guaranteeing a good night's sleep. The kitchen is well equipped and clean just as the bathroom.
Sometimes I would sit at night and talk with Alison which helped me better understand UK politics and culture. This felt in no way compulsory just like the general atmosphere in the house was very relaxed and tolerant.
The flat itself is within walking distance from the tube and bus stops are everywhere in the area.
I highly recommend staying with Alice and look forward to meeting her again.
