The landlord was very helpful and understanding. He gave us detailed instructions on how to use various appliances and was always there if we needed him. The room was very clean with everything one would need - large flat screen TV, iron, blow dryer, the scales to weigh the luggage, power adaptera for European plug ins, microwave oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and more. We had plenty of room to store our clothes, big drawers and a closet. Everything was clearly explained. It was very affordable to rent this room and was within a 5 minute walk from tourist sites such as the Tower or the Tower Bridge.

Services included a room and private bathroom. Cleanliness is the most important factor for me. Room and bathroom were clean and spotless. Location is my second most important factor. Within easy walking distance of the bus system, a Lidl, and several restaurants. We did not have to drive anywhere once we got to the location. The owner worked out the parking permit which was nice. Room was also well stocked with breakfast items and snacks. This was a nice touch, so we did not have to go out early looking for food. Room big enough for a couple. Great stay. Nice owner. Zero problems.

The homestay consists of 2 separate bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a living room. The accommodation is non-smoking.

Popular points of interest near the homestay include Buckingham Palace, Victoria Train Station and Banqueting House. The nearest airport is London City Airport, 15 km from BIG BEN'S SHADE.

The location is perfect. Every tourist attraction can be reached by foot, tube, or any other local transportation. It is located in a quiet part, so, during the night we had a very good sleep without any interruptions. We made breakfast, but we were very pleased that the breakfast items such as fruits, butter, jam, bread, ham, cheese, milk, and juice, waited for us in the fridge. The flat is on the ground floor and very easy to access. The flat is decorated in the English style. The beds were comfy. The place was very well-cleaned and cozy. We met Dino when we arrived. He picked us up at Victoria Station, and we walked to the flat (7min). He is a very nice guy, and he gave us a lot of information and useful tips. He surprised us with a delicious cheesecake and beer. Unfortunately, we haven't met Edwin because he was away, but maybe some other time when we will come back.

Boasting garden views, Home In Queen's Park offers accommodation with terrace, around 2.2 km from Portobello Road Market. With city views, this accommodation features a patio. The homestay has private entrance.

Michael is such a joyful and cordial person, always with a smile on his face! The house was always clean, even with the house full of guests. The bedroom had enough space for two people and it was warm and cozy. You can use the kitchen utensils and you can enjoy the balcony as well. Unfortunately it was snowing at the time, so we didn't. The place is really near to the tube and bus station, so we didn't have any issues to go to the other places. I recommend the place for experiencing a real London house and to know new people, we have a amazing time!

    Really enjoyed 3 nights at Oxford Street Homestay, fantastic location, so central. Moshe was a great host, very helpful, even allowing us to check in early at no additional cost. Comfortable room and very clean, would recommend to others and would definitely come back.
