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.Propreté 5/5

Pamela ist eine tolle, herzliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin und steht bei jeder Frage mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Sie hat die Gabe, ihre Gäste unkompliziert zu vernetzen, so dass eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre entsteht. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße. Es ist alles absolut sauber, modern und aufgeräumt. Der Aufenthalt hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen - vielen Dank!

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.

Pamela ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, sehr herzlich und fürsorglich. Dass sie auch Früstück anbietet und vor allem, wenn man möchte, ein Abendessen, ist super. Kann ich nur empfehlen, der Kontakt zu den anderen Gästen haben wir als sehr bereichernd empfunden. Jederzeit wieder!
