Thanx Sam. Welcome anytime
It was an absolute pleasure staying with Lesley and her family! They were the most welcoming and loveliest beings.
If there were and questions or issues, these were resolved/answered quickly, and kitchen and laundry room were easily accessible. The East Finchley tube station was only a 7-15 minute walk and takes you into central swiftly via the northern line.
Highly recommend for a comfy and relaxing stay, thank you! 😊

A real home away from home. Lesley went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and made me feel so welcome. A really lovely breakfast overlooking the lovely garden set me up for my day too. I will definitely be staying again.

Staying at Lesley's house was extremely pleasant - she was a great host. She also has a very sweet dog, Lennie, who's adorable. For the price of the room, you get better accommodation than most places I've stayed, will definitely stay over again.

This is a lovely house in a very pleasant location - 35 min on tube to Waterloo.
Lesley and Laurence are immensely welcoming and helpful - you feel like one of the family. Look forward to staying again.

Lesley and Lawrence are such lovely hosts, they cannot do enough to help you. 2 gorgeous dogs, gentle giants, who are so quiet and calm. 2 upstairs bathrooms and a toilet downstairs so you'll never be fighting. A nice walk through a park to the tube.
