I stayed here with five of my friends and loved the place. The rooms had enough space for all of us, and the place was great, situated in a perfect place near everything but far enough to be a calm place. Verginett & family were very nice indeed. We got to taste some Sri Lankan food when we took dinner, and that was such a great experience, and even my vegan diet could be taken into account.

Thank you very much for you review. It was a great pleasure to accommodate you and your friends. Enjoy the rest of your days in London. You are always welcome in the future. Thank you
Kind Regards

If we were able we would give this B&B 4 1/2 stars. My husband and I found the place to be very convenient to London, close to bus and underground. The host was very helpful, even driving us to the bus station on our last day. He served breakfast every morning and offered a meal in the evening for a small fee. However, the room we were in was more suited to a group of students or a family. There were four beds and a sofa in one room. We found that to be very crowded.

It was my first time in homestay! I very appreciate the journey and my host was very kind with me. Verginett Vasanthakumari, her husband and her children are amazing. It's a very good place to stay, everything is close and the center is not to far with the bus or the underground. Thank you for everything! London is wonderful!

Accueil très chaleureux de la famille même si Verginett était absente. Bonne situation du logement, 1 bus à prendre pendant 5 mn pour rejoindre la station de métro de Tooting Broadway, puis 15 mn pour rejoindre Victoria. Bon rapport qualité prix pour un court séjour à Londres. Famille très arrangeante.

Translation to English:
Very warm welcome from the family even though Verginett was away. Good location, 1 bus to 5 minutes to Tooting Broadway tube station, then 15 minutes to Victoria. Good value for a short stay in London. Family very accomodating.
Merci beaucoup pour votre évaluation. Nous avons été très heureux de vous accueillir. Je vous souhaite tout le meilleur. Merci. Verginett and SureshOctober 2016

Staying for 2 nights with this friendly family was great; the room was ideal with off street -parking. I would like to go back again one day if they'll have me :)

La famille Vasanthakumari est à la fois discrète et accueillante. La chambre est petite mais propre et silencieuse et dispose d'une salle d'eau particulière. Il faut un peu de temps pour se rendre dans le centre de Londres mais les transports en commun (bus + métro) sont efficaces. Deux conseils : demander un repas à M. Vasanthakumari qui cuisine d'excellents plats Sri-lankais et pré-payer toutes les prestations demandées à la famille. Très bons souvenirs de notre séjour chez cette famille.

nous avons passé un très agréable séjour, la famille Vasanthakumari etait au petit soin pour nous :-) , du petit déjeuné au diner , tout était parfait !
les lits etaient confortables , le coté impersonnel des chambres d'hotels "classiques" etait à milles lieux de chez eux, j'avais l'impression de vivre chez ma grand mère !
le seul regret est le fait que les repas n'étaient pas pris en meme temps que les hotes...dommage car c'est tellement plus enrichissant d'échanger pendant un bon repas...
mes enfants et moi-meme , vous remercions pour votre gentillesse !
