Thanks so much Kylie. Look forward to hosting you soon 😍
I loved staying at Clara’s. The room was so clean and artfully decorated as was her whole home. I only stayed a few days. I loved the easy access to where I was working. I had everything I needed and would again. The location is brilliant for local shops and businesses. A busy and buzzy area for food and socialising. I felt safe and comfortable.

You’re welcome thanks for staying with us x
I had a wonderful stay with Clara and Ben in their beautiful home, they’re a very welcoming couple with two gorgeous cats. Great location right in Dalston with easy bus links nearby. Loved the room, with such a comfy mattress and nice skyline view.

A really relaxed and friendly stay with Clara and Ben, a lovely flat and room, on a quiet street, a great place to stay near the bustle of Dalston. Really comfy bed and homely room and Clara and Ben are very welcoming and kind. Thanks for a really lovely stay!

This was a great place to stay. It’s a good location at a fair price. The home itself is warm, comfortable and welcoming. Clara and Ben are kind, flexible and understanding hosts. Can’t recommend enough. Also there’s some lovely cats!

Thanks Douglas. 😊
Clara was a kind host, who made me feel very welcome in their beautiful home. The bed and the room are perfect for unwinding: comfortable, not cluttered and with a most affectionate cat (if you choose to enjoy her company, which I was only too happy to make the most of).
The area is also really well connected to overground and bus lines.
I'd definitely stay again. Thank you.

Clara and Ben were perfect hosts, both very friendly and accommodating whilst being very respectful of privacy - it really felt like I had my own space. Can't thank them enough for being so accommodating, and always having a great recommendation on hand for food or hangout spots!

Liam was a wonderful guest
We really enjoyed hosting him.
Super friendly, clean, tidy and respectful of our home. I recommend him as a guest.
Clara is the loveliest and best host. If you're lucky enough that she's baking chai biscuits, they're great. Such a lovely homely home and super central location for getting into town. Can't recommend enough.

Thanks Charlotte 🥰
Clara was a lovely host, very friendly and made me feel very welcome in her home. Had some good chats about theatre and she gave me great recommendations for the local area and events in London. It was a really calm and warm space to return to during a very busy rehearsal period. Many thanks, Clara

Thanks Lau
Good luck with the run
See you at Wilton's 😍
I literally couldn't speak more highly of this place!!! Clara and her husband are extremely considerate, warm, and just genuinely lovely hosts. I had a very high-speed rehearsal process, which could have been very stressful, but was made to feel very much at home and at ease whilst staying here. Thank you both so much, Daniel x
19th Feb 2024
Thank you Daniel, it was a pleasure to host you.
Good luck with the show.
See you next time you're in town.
Ben and Clara were welcoming hosts and made the space feel like your own - I would definitely recommend staying with them. They have two very approachable cats, and the bedroom itself was really quiet, with a very comfortable bed too!

Thanks Eliott
See you at your show soon!
Clara and Bens is a lovely place to stay when working in London. The bedroom is quiet and the bed is comfortable. Bathroom and shower are great, everything you need when working away from home, and Clara and Ben are lovely hosts. I’ll be back in December and Clara also sorted me out with other accommodation for part of December they couldn’t do. Can’t recommend enough, thanks! :)
