This guesthouse was a clean budget accommodation with excellent value that I was happy to find during the weekend of the coronation with a welcoming host in an ordinary suburban house, kept spotless. Neighborhood: Coming from the USA, I was surprised to find that this was a cute British-Indian community, but it seemed to mostly have Indian restaurants nearby. The location is near the tube station, but on a slightly busy road. Queensbury Tube station in zone 4 is only a 7-min walk away. I wish I’d read the restaurant recommendations on the website, but I ended up finding the excellent fish & chips shop (Skipjacks) on my own without its help and was able to walk there in 8 min. The neighborhood in the evening didn’t feel extremely safe as I crossed over the train bridge and there was a man hiding there smoking, but it wasn’t horrible either. Room: I stayed in the family room with the private bathroom which was comfortable and immaculate, with a mini fridge, free bottled water, tea- & coffee-making facilities, and a cute view of the various back gardens. The train goes behind the house regularly, but the horns don’t sound often. I needed to wear earplugs to sleep since I like my room cold and needed the windows open. I finally had to close the windows early in the morning. There were also teens sitting on the train bridge most of the evening, screaming and laughing loudly behind the house. The bed was comfortable, and the shower worked well; however there was nowhere to keep my toiletries while getting ready in the morning. Other than the train noise, my only disappointment was that there was no common room to sit in other than my bedroom. The living room downstairs is private; however, I was able to store my suitcase there for the day. Overall, this was what I needed as a last-minute booking and I was rested for my meeting and long day.
