Another fantastic stay with Eva and Barry. The en suite and small cooking area make it very private {no oven though} and I found it very comfortable.Fantastic location, close to tube, park, shops and so easy as a base to get around London. Eva and Barry are lovely, friendly, but never intrusive. I hope I get to stay again!! Thank you for having me!

Would love to stay again if I find myself in London again.

Best stay ever! Eva and Barry are the most welcoming hosts and their house is clean, spacious and homely. The location is perfect- quiet yet very close to supermarkets, the park and the tube.
I stayed in The View for a month which was delightful! A very bright, spacious room with plenty of storage for my things & perfect for a longer stay. The kitchenette was also super handy for preparing meals.
Thanks so much Eva and Barry- I’d love to come back one day!

Eva
Really lovely room and hosts. I was afforded lots of privacy but the hosts were always available for a chat or to answer any questions.
The house is very conveniently located for the tube into central London as well as local shops and some really lovely pubs come out cafes and restaurants.
There are a couple of friendly but not intrusive cats.
Really great digs, I would happily stay again.

Thank you so much Gillian, you have been a lovely guest and it would be great to have you to stay again sometime!
Eva
Stayed in the ensuite room for 5 months whilst working West End. Absolutely perfect for my needs, with the kitchenette on the landing it’s very self contained - like a bedsit.
Fantastic location, great transport links.
Eva and Barry are absolutely lovely people - welcoming, warm, fantastic communication and never intruding. Booking digs is a gamble but this one was a total win!
The one downside is that it can be noisy outside on bin day!
Thank you for everything, hope I get to stay again
