Staying at Maggie's house gives you a valuable opportunity to experience a different side of London. The house is located in a peaceful residential area of East Dulwich (that used to be a village and retains some its pastoral charm to this day). It is well-connected to the city centre (there are a bus station and a train station nearby), and one can go to the huge Sainsbury's nearby for the weekend grocery shopping. The area feels very safe even at night.
The house itself feels cozy. If you are a cat lover, you are going to fall in love with Maggie's cats (they are very cuddly). The window of the room is overlooking the garden that is often visited by foxes, cats, birds and squirrels, especially in the morning. It's quiet and dark at night (no artificial lights), making it easier to sleep (it helped me to fix my sleeping habits).
Maggie is an interesting person. She is an avid traveller who has already visited more than 80 countries. She is friendly, she respects guests and cares about the experience of her guests, it really shows.
Overall, I am grateful for a chance to visit her house and would definitely recommend it to others.
