Lesley could not have been more helpful in arranging for the key to be available whatever time I arrived. Her home is in a brilliant location and the room is bright and spacious. It looks out into a lovely front basement garden complete with a range of visiting birdlife and with very little noise ( i was vaguely aware of people walking past once or twice in the night but I was too comfy to be disturbed by it.)
Lesley's welcome was warm and very friendly, without being intrusive. She made me feel very at home and relaxed, and was wonderfully patient and good humoured when I needed rescuing from my idiocy with the doorkey! The dogs were fun and she made sure they didn't bother me.
This stay was everything I had hoped for. Thanks Lesley!
