We loved the accommodation, the room was spacious and the bathroom large. The kitchen was fully equipped and tea and coffee are appreciated. In the room we loved that there were adapted plugs and cables of each type of charge. In the end it was not necessary to turn on the heating because we slept warm and comfortable. Just as a personal habit I missed a light in the bathroom mirror to put on makeup and a mirror in the room to see my outfits lol. But they are whims. All needs were completely covered in this accommodation. Thank you for everything and being so attentive constantly.

The room was insanely clean, you could literally smell how clean it was! The bed was very comfortable and the linen clean and soft. A lot of complimentary amenities - coffee machine AND milk foamer, robes and slippers, chips, cookies etc - plus a lot of nice little touches here and there - warm towels anyone? The staff was amazingly kind and welcoming. We had also dinner at the pub we recommend it, food was delicious and the atmosphere very cosy! it's conveniently located and very quiet at night. Plus it has an amazing style! Can't wait to come back ❤️

    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.
