I recently stayed at this lovely accommodation and had a wonderful experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with any questions or needs we had. Their hospitality truly made our stay enjoyable. The room and facilities were impeccably clean, which was a big plus for us. The hosts take great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort. One of the best aspects of this accommodation is its location. It is very well connected by both train and bus to London city center, making it convenient to explore the city. We had no trouble getting around and appreciated the ease of access to public transportation. While the room was a little small, this was accurately depicted in the pictures, so there were no surprises. You get exactly what is displayed, and the cozy space was perfect for our needs. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation for its friendly hosts, cleanliness, and excellent location. It offers great value for anyone looking to explore London.

Martin, our host/owner was so welcoming and super nice. The whole place was very clean, comfortable and really warm which was a plus for us in January. The bathroom was beautiful, the bedroom cozy and bright, and the kitchen had a nice coffee machine and all the facilities we needed. The house is located in a quiet area in the outskirts which we really liked.

    We have stayed all over UK in private homes (B&B) so many times, but never have we felt so welcome as with Iuliana. She was wonderful and extremely generous, helpful and we had a great time with her and the five cats. We will stay there again next time we go to London. It was very centrally situated, with the bus right outside and the tube 5 minutes away. Also a nice breakfast cafe up the street. Things could not be better.
