It's been a wonderful experience. Herme is a considerate host and I really felt like home: a good breakfast accompanied by delightfully scented fresh roses every morning, the bathroom available every time I needed, rear garden in good fettle, WiFi, as well as expert advice on What and Where in the neighborhood and in London. Close to a supermarket and a library to print/copy/scan; 3 tube stations conveniently located nearby, also need to consider journey by tube from the area to the centre. Fair price, I will definitely return next time I’m in London. Many thanks for your hospitality, Herme.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend – this is the true spirit of home stay of which Denise is a leading host. Her home and family will reward any guest who is considerate of the rules of the game (have you noticed the rubrics at the left of the main page?) With Denise and Trevor, I had the unique opportunity to see what authentic Londoners are really like at home, in their original lovely Victorian house (so warm and cozy in winter). A tasty breakfast to keep me going until lunchtime also filled my mind and heart with the finest sparkles of Denise’s genuine British spirit – very far from the stereotypes commonly advertised by some books. During my short stay, I actually got so much carried away by these refreshing conversations, that I almost didn’t notice the well-behaved cat (that you can see in the picture). Looking back, ignoring this adorable cat is my only deep regret… but really, the cat couldn’t care less :) So it is a fair game: Denise and Trevor will keep all their promises (read the other reviews, I confirm they are true); make sure you do your share and you can have the time of your life! I know I’ll be coming back for more.
