Esther is an excellent host and it was a pleasure to stay with her in her lovely home. She was aways helpful, friendly and responsive and gave lots of recommendations for interesting things to do and see. The house is clean and quiet, was exactly as described and is excellent value. It is in a good location about 10 minutes walk to the train station or about 2 minutes walk to the bus. There is a good sized supermarket around 10 minutes walk away and some other shops and cafes/restaurants in the same shopping area. There are also other interesting shopping/dining areas within walkable distances or a short bus ride away. I enjoyed exploring all the different neighbourhoods nearby.
When I return to London next time I will definitely be seeing if Esther has availability for me to stay again.
