Lovely, calm home in a fantastic location. I loved staying with Catherine, she was friendly and made my time there really lovely. The bed and room itself was very comfortable and her home has such a nice feel to it. Highly recommended, thank you Catherine for having me to stay in your home. 5 stars.

Beautiful and clean house with warm and calming atmosphere and everything you need is within 5min walk. Catherine was very nice and considerate - didn’t have any inconveniences what so ever and was lovely to have her as a host. Will definitely recommend to those who are working at 3 Mills Studio, but would recommend to anyone who would want a calm place to stay.

I had such a wonderful time staying with Catherine over Feb-March. She's the most gracious host, always checking in making sure I was comfortable, great for a chat and allowed me lots of privacy too. The room is super clean and just what I needed - and SO close to the tube, commuting was a dream. I'd be back in a heartbeat - thanks so much Catherine!
