    Paul and his family are really nice!!!. There is a very pleasant atmosphere that has made our stay really comfortable.
    The location is very convenient with only just 5 minutes walk to station, along the Piccadilly line. The rooms are great and very quiet, which is perfect after a busy day in the city.
    We've been very lucky with our Hosts and we'd would certainly stay with them if we come back.
    Thank you Paul, Brigitte and Clem.

    Paul and his wife are really great hosts! They are very open-minded, relaxed and always helpful. We spent a week at their house and felt welcome right from the start! Full recommendation!

    Lovely house, kind couple, delicious meals. Location is excellent. I don't think you could find hosts in London better than Paul and Brigitte. Definitely will return.

    Paul et son épouse ont été très accueillants et très aidants lors de la préparation de notre venue.
    Leur maison est absolument charmante, très bien tenue, et au calme dans un quartier très rassurant, en proximité directe du métro Piccadily Line (3 min à pied).
    Chambre, salle de bains, tout est exactement comme sur les photos, et nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux avec mes deux enfants de 10 et 12 ans, et on s'est sentis "comme à la maison".
    Je recommande vivement la famille de Paul pour un séjour à Londres !
    Encore merci de votre accueil et de votre confiance !
    Marine, Hippolyte, Iris :)

    I want to say thank you to Paul and Brigitte for my perfect permanence in his house.
    I lived 20 days in september 2018, and all were perfect.
    My room was large, super-cleaned. The breakfast was perfect with a lot of food every morning.
    The house is near to Southgate Station for the bus and tube ( 500 mt) -5 minutes walking.
    Thank you Paul and Brigitte, SEE YOU SOON!!!!!

    Voglio ringraziare sia Paul che Brigitte per la mia meravigliosa permanenza nella loro casa.
    Ho vissuto da loro 20 giorni nel mese di settembre 2018, e tutto era veramente perfetto.
    La mia camera era molto grande, ma soprattutto, molto pulita. La colazione era perfetta e ogni mattina c'era un sacco di cibo!
    La casa è molto comoda e vicina alla Stazione di Southgate per bus e Metropolitana, (500 mt) -5 minuti a piedi.
    Grazie ancora Paul e Brigitte

    thank you,
    ALBERTO

    A place as good as home. I felt welcome in a pretty nice, compact and refurbished room. The Underground to the most Hotspots is less than five minutes away on foot. Some stores and restaurants are not remote as well.
    In advance to future Journeys, I am going to meet this beautiful place again.
    Thank you Paul for beeing my Host!

    Very friendly and helpful host! He always helped us when we had questions. Great host!

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
