Malika is an incredibly warm and helpful host who went out of her way to make my stay a pleasant one. She was flexible in accommodating my late check-in due to unforeseen delays. Communication was always timely and smooth. She attended to small things -- such as turning on the heater before I arrived home -- to make sure I was comfortable. Conversations with her were thoroughly enjoyable.

The room was very clean and tidy. It is sufficiently spacious for one, at most two, guests. However, the slanted ceiling can get rather low, though it really isn't a problem unless you're very tall -- just mind your head. The fireplace is a lifesaver when the weather gets really cold. The bathroom is also very well-maintained.

In terms of transportation, the overground station is really close as mentioned, so that is useful. There are two convenience shops and other eating places in the vicinity, so it was easy for me to grab a bite or stock up on necessities.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend Malika's home!
