Nous avons passé 23 nuits chez Pamela, ma fille de 10 ans, ma femme et moi. Tout s'est passé à merveille. Pamela est très à l'écoute, donne de bons conseils, a d'excellente compétences de cuisinière (c'est son métier).
Nous nous sommes régalés lors des dîners qu'elle a préparés (entrée, plat, dessert, à partir de produits frais), en quantité toujours largement rassasiante, presque trop, mais c'était pour le bien de nos papilles :) Non seulement la qualité est indiscutable, mais c'est également un énorme avantage de pouvoir bien manger et pour moins cher qu'un fast food sur Londres.
Nous avons séjourner chez Pamela dans le cadre d'un voyage linguistique et nous avions école tous les matins dans le centre de Londres, nous partions donc du matin au soir et Pamela proposait également de préparer des picnics pour le midi (sandwichs + snacks salé/sucré+ fruits + eau).
Le dîner et/ou les lunchs sont très abordables, on peut les commander la veille pour le lendemain pour une flexibilité maximale.
Nous avons logé dans la chambre quadruple, suffisament spacieuse.
Nous partageons une salle de bain avec baignoire entre invités à l'étage, Pamela dispose de la sienne dont nous pouvons emprunter les toilettes en cas d'urgence.
Nous avons rencontré d'autres invités qui séjournaient dans différentes chambres, ça a toujours été de superbes rencontres. Pamela, à travers les échanges Whatapp ou autre, essaie toujours de cerner ses invités avant le séjour de façon à rendre leur séjour d'autant plus agréable.
Nous avons d'avoir fait de superbes rencontres parmi les autres invités.
Notre fille et sa petite fille ont beaucoup sympathisé lors de ses visites à mamie.
Pour les longs séjour, Pamela propose également de s'occuper de la lessive, nous l'avons sollicité 3 fois pour la lessive. Le linge sentait bon, sec et plié.
A propos de localisation, le quartier est très calme, en revanche il est un peu distant du centre, en zone 3 des transports londonniens, mais malgré la distance, les aller-retours au centre ville se font très facilement, Pamela habite à 100 mètres de la gare de train ou de la station de bus la plus proche, en tout il faut compter 45-55 minutes de transport pour se rendre au centre. Ceci peut sembler beaucoup, mais la proximité avec la gare ou le bus en fait une adresse efficace pour se rendre dans tous Londres étant donné qu'à l'issue du bus ou train, les liaisons en métros sont très efficaces.
Il nous a paru plus judicieux d'être dans un joli quartier au calme mais proches des transports, que d'être un peu plus proche du centres mais moins accessible par les transports en commun.
Il est évident pour nous que tout séjour sur Londres doit se faire chez Pamela :)
Nous y reviendrons avec grande joie.

She is an affable and talkative host. She supported me throughout the whole stay and encouraged me to achieve what I needed to do. We talked a lot about random things, small talk to deep conversations while not only having meals together but we both are free. She also respected my privacy when I'm in a middle of something, or need to focus on myself. She's so fun and lovely, what's more, the room is spacious and clean. The stay was 10/10, highly recommended!!!

I had a very good week at Parvin's. I felt at home when I set foot at her house. She is a host who really takes care of her guests and who knows how to make herself available. How not to recommend parvin for your stay in London. In addition, the location of his house is very interesting to get to the centre of London. Thanks for everything

Pamela is a wonderful host, very courteous, very sociable, and very helpful with all her guests' needs. She offers a good continental breakfast and a big plus is that packed lunches and dinner are available upon request. The house is quite big, clean and quiet. The street is just a stone's throw from the high street with supermarkets, restaurants, shops, pubs and the overground train station. The train takes about fifteen minutes to get to Finsbury Park station where you can get the underground Piccadilly line which reaches the centre of London in about twenty-five minutes. I would definitely return.

I had a fantastic stay with Kate! She was an excellent host. It was my first time alone in London as well as my first homestay which was a bit daunting, but Kate really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. She gave some excellent tips and advice on places to visit and her flat is absolutely spotless. I only wish I’d stayed longer!
