We have seen outdoor cafe seating taking over street parking areas around Denver and Boulder. It's a little interesting when you turn on a street that you have been using for awhile, thinking "oh, I'll grab a space right in front", and suddenly have to veer around a wooden fence outcropping with tables!

Stayed here for second time and was very happy to return to such a lovely quiet self contained apartment. Hannah is a super host and has an amazing cleaner - everything is so super clean and organised for your stay. It is also just a few minutes walk to Kingston Bridge and to John Lewis and Kingston shopping centre. Would highly recommend.
June2015-10-02T00:00:00ZA lovely apartment in a convenient location. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area.
Mike2014-01-26T00:00:00Zwith warm hospitality from Hannah, we had wonderful time. hope to be there again very soon
Yongjin2014-07-01T00:00:00ZIt was a spacious, modern apartment with lots of amenities. It was away from the hustle and bustle of London city which suited us. I cannot emphasise how much we enjoyed staying in there!
yaodong2015-11-24T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely time at the flat and we were able to have our dog with us which was great especially being so near the park a really great place to stay.
Sally2016-08-31T00:00:00ZI can't think of a more perfect place to stay. Hannah to begin with through our emails was very accommodating willing to answer any questions we may have had before our arrival. She greater us on arrival, gave us a very thorough tour of the accommodation which included everything you could want to be comfortable. The accommodation was exactly as described and picture on the site. Where this place is located is absolutely perfect. The area is quiet away from the hustle and bustle of London and yet access to London is footsteps away with the bus and train located just outside your door. Not only access to London but also to places away from London. We used the train to go see Windsor Castle and bus for Hampton Court. Also the bus took us directly to Heathrow Airport. Also in the area 3 - 4 blocks away is Kingston on the Thames. You are able to walk there in 5 minutes, on one side of the Thames is a lovely walk through trees and parks with places to sit and if so inclined a 30 min walk to Hampton Court. Cross over the bridge and on the other side of the bridge along the Thames are great pubs and restaurants where you can sit and have a drink and a meal on the water. The town up from the water has lovely little stores and if a big mall is what you need it is descretely tuck in without effecting the ambiance of the town. If a quiet at home meal is what you want there is a grocery store a couple of doors down which also carries wine and beer, not far is a couple of pizza places and of course more pubs. Throughout our visit Hannah was very helpful with transportation advice, places to go and see. I can't say enough about how comfortable we were in our accommodation and the neighbourhood. We will definitely return to Hannah's Airbnb.
Barbara 2016-06-08T00:00:00ZWhat a wonderful place. We had a fantastic time at this apartment. The Hampton Wick area is great for walks in the parks and along the river and the whole neighbouring area is beautiful. Access to London is a 30 minute train ride away from the station just across the street. We loved the apartment, self contained with your own access. Spacious and comfortable with everything we needed - even the cupboards had basic supplies such as tea and coffee. Very quiet, clean and private and hard to believe you were in town rather than out in the countryside. We would love to stay again.
Michael2015-05-24T00:00:00ZVery nice apartment which is located directly opposite the station. It was clean and spacious. Very friendly host. Kingston in walking distance with lots of nice restaurants and shops. We had a great stay. Thank you.

What a lovely weekend we had at Alec's Retreat. It's in an idyllic setting with beautiful views, away from the hustle and bustle of life yet close enough to the motorway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Alison was such a delightful host: a bottle of wine, fridge stocked with essentials and some thoughtful touches such as home made honey and jams which were just delicious. As we had arranged a visit to London for a Harry Potter tour during our stay, Alison kindly provided us with all the Harry Potter films to get us in the mood! The lodge itself was very cosy and comfortable: lovely shower and comfy bed. It is immaculate and well-looked after with everything you need. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again should we venture to Surrey in the future! Definitely recommend. Thank you Alison for a wonderful stay :)
Rebecca2016-01-18T00:00:00ZAlison and her family is nice, helpful and very tactful. First night Alison prepared our beds, because we arrived at midnight. This lodge was an excellent choice for 3 adults and 1 child. So thank you everything.
Iren2016-07-05T00:00:00ZLoved the place and found Alison to be an exceptionally welcoming hosts. I must say that this is certainly a place I plan to return to for some R&R. As an architect, I was particularly impressed with the features and atmosphere of the lodge. I had two great dinners an amazing walk and an overall amazing getaway - which doesn't happen often. Well done Alison.
peter2015-03-20T00:00:00ZAgain we had a lovely time! Perfect! everything you need is there the view is fantastic Alison and David are perfect hosts we love this place!
Christa2015-05-26T00:00:00ZAlison was wonderful, and her lodge was better than expected. She was there when we arrived, showed us around, all with kindness and a smile. The fridge and pantry were stocked with the basics (and wine if don't don't also consider that a basic)! Everything was clean and well maintained. We would recommend Alison's lodge and would definitely go back if the opportunity presented itself.
Sara 2016-09-27T00:00:00ZAlison was a very welcoming host to the accommodation and I really enjoyed the breakfast options which were a complete surprise and a nice bottle of red wine! The accommodation is very beautiful inside with lovely decor throughout and was clean and spacious. The accommodation wasn't as isolated as I had hoped and backs on to the garage and the garden area for the main house but we weren't disturbed at all. There is quite a lot of noise from the motorway nearby which you cannot hear inside the house at all but if you are planning on a quiet evening outside could be a little disruptive. Alison was fantastic at communicating all the directions/ideas on dinner and places to go and we really enjoyed the weekend. Overall a lovely cottage and really lovely hosts.
Hayley2015-02-16T00:00:00Zgreat self contained accommodation at a great outdoor location. outstanding service by Alison on the welcome and very nice to have basic breakfast, fruit and a bottle of wine waiting.
Jan-Willem2016-11-29T00:00:00ZHad a very pleasant two day stay. Lodge is modern, clean and well equipped. A comfortable bed and the quiet and peaceful location provides for a good nights sleep! WiFi also decent for those who need that despite the rural location. Alison was a very helpful host with a very swift response to all communication prior to arrival.

My second stay at Carolyn's place. It won't be my last. Comfortable and cosy. Carolyn is kind, considerate and very helpful
Chris 2016-12-08T00:00:00ZA nice couple!We are two girls from China, we are reading senior high school in the United Kingdom The house was very good. Steve saw us at the intersection and drove us home. Very good travel experience!
Yuxuan2016-10-24T00:00:00ZHad an enjoyable one night stay with Carolyn & Steve. Room was clean & comfortable and I was made to feel very much at home. Good to have off road parking.
jeremy2016-10-12T00:00:00ZCarolyn was a very pleasant and helpful host. The room I stayed in had a large bed, wardrobe space and was clean and well decorated. The house is lovely and everything about my stay was straightforward and worked just how I wanted.
Stephen2017-01-16T00:00:00ZCarolyn and Steve made me feel very welcome and their room was very comfortable with TV and excellent wifi. I recommend Carolyn and Steve as hosts to anyone looking for a room in Walton-on-Thames.
Rob2015-03-17T00:00:00ZReally lovely home, 5-10 min walk to the station as well and it took about 30-40 mins to get to central London (Waterloo). Carolyn was a great host - very clean room, all the necessities provided, really friendly. She even had breakfast on hand for us which was so nice! Highly recommend!
Arneesh2016-08-29T00:00:00ZI have stayed with Carolyn before and this visit was just as good. The room is very comfortable with great Wifi and TV and the bathroom is lovely and clean. I recommend staying with Carolyn to other Airbnb users.
Rob2015-06-08T00:00:00ZNice clean, quiet place and a friendly host. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

Had a wonderful stay at Kevin's flat. It is really comfortable and had everything we could possibly want. It is in a very nice location with great shopping and things to do and just a short train ride from London. Thanks Kevin for all your help and hospitality.
Robyn2015-05-03T00:00:00ZAs the pictures show this is a very lovely modern apartment which comfortably fit our family of four - it's in a fantastic location with a short walk to everything you could need - all the high street shops, marketplace and restaurants and a beautiful river walk along the Thames. The free parking spot is very handy but you really don't need a car as the train station is very close (you can't hear the trains!). The kitchen was perfect for cooking and well kitted out with everything you need. Although Kevin is overseas he stayed in close contact, handled all our queries immediately plus he left good instructions. Our check in and out was no problem at all.....highly recommend this apartment and would love to stay again. Thanks Kevin!!
Cathy2014-10-14T00:00:00ZClean, modern simple design of the interiors. Comfortable place to come home to after a long day of sightseeing. Kevin was fine with a different person checking in first which made booking a lot easier. Big shopping mall just down the corner which made shopping for both food and gifts easier. Traveling to the city takes up to 1 - 1.5 hrs due to the location and the need to change trains. Despite this, we had a great experience traveling around the city.
Eems2015-07-11T00:00:00ZThe host's representative met me at a very early hour (2am) and gave me a warm and thorough introduction to the flat. The flat was the best in my Airbnb experience. It was immaculate and very well equipped (Kevin, the French press was very much appreciated). If anything, it exceeded my expectations. The location was superb, with the train station and a large supermarket a five minute walk or less away. Central London Waterloo and Victoria stations are about a 25 minute train ride away. I would recommend this flat without reservation. Next time I am in London, I will surely stay there again.
Barry2015-02-17T00:00:00ZWe had such an amazing experience. Before even arriving at our destination, our host was very helpful. He provided us with a house manual so we were aware of how to work things in the house, not only that but he also provided us with a list of recommendations for the area, such as restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Did not realize how convenient this location was but it had absolutely everything we needed within a 5 minute walk (supermarket, mall, restaurants, train station, the river, etc.)
Vivian2016-07-01T00:00:00ZThe flat is in a great location with shopping train station river etc within 5 mins walk. Kevin is a great host and answered any enquiry promptly . There was an issue with the internet on arrival but we soon got it sorted. The flat could have been cleaner and more organised but Kevin addressed all issues satisfactory and refunded the cleaning fee. It was home from home and I would definitely stay there again. Thank you Kevin
Alfie2015-09-29T00:00:00ZThe host reminded by e mail re time of arrival. Delayed by plane and immigration Gatwick Airport. Arrived at (URL HIDDEN) in apartment tried to contact intercom no response. ( out of order) called on phone Kingston contact finally maid showed up. Preferable contact around to facilitate check in. Apartment spacious and splendid location just walking distance to city center Kingston upon thames.Very comfortable aqequate facilities. Kitchen facilites,for cooking. toaster,washing machine, Some minor issues re locking front door and heating called local contact and host overseas and communication through e mails and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)s.Ok all solved speedily. Need to have e mail and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)s systems for effecient communication.Would be problem without them. Overall pleased with the apartment spacious, good location and facilites. :Like home away from home. Would come back if opportunity arises. Thanks to the host Kevin for prompt response eventhough not in Kingston.
samshuri 2016-06-05T00:00:00ZWe are a family with 4 members staying in the apartment for one week. The apartment well located in town center with good transportation system to Central London. It is clean with modern equipment & fixtures. Good heating system to keep us warm. Although the owner not in UK, we still keep good communication. Thank you the owner and his friend's help.

We booked a stay here so that we could visit Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park with my 6 year old. Natasha sent me a comprehensive email the day before so that I was prepared and knew how to access the marina and boat. It was a lovely location and I just wished we had booked more time there so that we could enjoy some of the scenery using the smaller boats available. It was enjoyable to sit on the deck for dinner and although we could have cooked (there were plenty of facilities) we got a pizza delivered very easily. We parked at the Stables as suggested and they were really nice, and we had delicious breakfast! I would recommend booking more than one night here!
Natalie2016-09-10T00:00:00ZWill be booking again.......
Kevin2016-09-11T00:00:00ZNatasha and Klaus made our whole family feel very welcome. The marina itself is really beautiful, and the surrounding area (Bushy Park and the deer, Hampton Court Palace (including the maze and secret garden for children) left us feeling like we were on another continent and not just down the road in London! The boat is very comfortable and well laid out, the small skiff and canoes great fun, and Natasha and Klaus were very responsive to our questions and on hand to settle us in. When we left, Klaus even took us down to Hampton Court itself in a smaller boat which saved us the walk with our bags!!!
Euan2016-08-16T00:00:00ZEverything was just as it said it would be. Natasha even contacted me in the day to let me know I could check in earlier. Great host!
danielle2016-09-01T00:00:00ZThis is quite possibly the best location one could ever want for a relaxing short holiday. I loved every second of it. If you are looking for a calm, quiet, private and unique experience within walking distance from a very pleasant little village full of great restaurants and cafes this is the best place for you just a short drive away from London. Perfect for an active short holiday too as you can go running, walking or cycling along the Thames Path too. Stunning surroundings!!
Etti N2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThe boat was a real treat to stay in. It's very clean, tidy & well equipped as well as being efficiently labelled. There was an extensive info file which helped settle us in. The marina is full of a very wide range of boats which were all fascinating. the gardens were beautiful & the whole a experience a dream. We went to The Homemade Fair at Hampton Court which was a 10 minute walk away. Perfect location & great hosts.
Mary2016-09-20T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I had a brilliant experience on the boat. We wanted to get away but do something different and this was perfect. Natasha's instructions on how to find the boat, unlock the boat, operate the boat etc were spot on and we made ourselves at home very quickly! Once settled we got a taxi into Kingston where we went for a few drinks and dinner before returning home. The bed was comfy and we were very warm despite it being freezing out! Thanks Natasha for a lovely stay!
Jamee2016-11-30T00:00:00ZBaboo is a wonderfully cosy modern cruiser moored in an exceptional location. My family of four stayed onboard on a very icy night in December, yet we were snug and comfortable. Everything required for our stay was available, well thought out and labelled efficiently. I availed myself of the option to use the parking facility at a local restaurant and this was also efficient and effective. The location is without doubt the key selling point, the marina is truly magical and quirky. Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park are a gentle stroll away as are bus and train links. If your familiar with boats and are looking for something interesting and unusual then this is definitely one for you, if it's summer and your travelling by public transport then book it immediately- you won't be disappointed.

Kath2016-08-04T00:00:00ZLea was warm and welcoming. Her directions and suggestions were perfect. Great location for a living like a Londoner experience.
Trish2017-01-08T00:00:00ZThis is the second time I have stayed with Leonor and she is always so welcoming. The room is spacious and clean. Leonor kindly shares her sitting room and kitchen with guests. The apartment is near to Surbiton station with fast links into the Centre of London. It is a short walk from the local high street, where there are nice coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. I will be returning in 2017 for sure!
Nina2016-12-15T00:00:00ZLeonor was a fantastic host, very kind and thoughtful. The room is in a nice quiet area, very handy for Surbiton itself, with no street or railway noise, and her directions were clear and easy to follow.
Sorcha2015-09-03T00:00:00ZOverall good experience. Leonor was very welcoming and provided us with everything we needed like towels, shower gel and even breakfast. Room was clean and well kept with its own sink and wardrobe and the shower was very powerful and nice. Very quiet area, probably more like half an hour from central London but well connected to public transport.
Oscar2016-02-07T00:00:00ZLea is a lovely host and her place is very central and walkable to the centre of the town. I stayed one night on business and would recommend her place if you are in the area look for value accommodation.
Honor2017-02-08T00:00:00ZBooked for my parents who came to visit. Lovely home and host, very welcoming and comfortable. Definitely recommend! Many thanks :-)

Rosemary2016-10-09T00:00:00ZWe stayed here while we were moving house. The room had everything that we needed and is much better than the pictures in real life. Very spacious, clean and modern bathroom and a kitchen with everything that you need. We stayed here for 10 days and we didn't want for anything and found ourselves very comfortable. We experience don problems with the internet and were able to use our computers as normal and having a nice big TV in the room was an added bonus. The hosts were also very good and made us feel extremely welcome.
Joanna2016-12-13T00:00:00ZVery welcoming well equipped. Fast response on a last minute booking. Clean and tidy and very comfortable.
Charlotte2017-01-19T00:00:00ZThe host could not have been more accommodating, allowing us to view after booking but before use, as it was for my father-in-law to stay at over Christmas. The set up was perfect and everything Rodney could have needed was there. He felt very comfortable and 'at home' and I am sure would have no hesitation in booking again in the future.
christine2016-12-27T00:00:00ZLovely flat in a lovely location. We used the flat as a base as we were attending a wedding and it was perfect. Great location for getting into Claygate centre. Hosts were super, couldn't have asked for nicer! Fab, if we had to stay in Claygate again we would definitely rebook.
Emily2016-06-27T00:00:00ZThis was our first time using airbnb. The host made myself and my partner Alan extremely welcome. We were given lots of local information and even the offer of a lift back from the pub! The studio was exactly as described in the listing, very clean and comfortable. The studios location was on a quiet road in a very nice area. We would book again if we return next year.
Angela2016-06-23T00:00:00ZRobert and Kim were perfect hosts and so welcoming. The room was lovely and clean with everything I needed - the bread, cereal & juice were a nice touch. I liked that the room was completely self-contained with a separate front door, shower room and kitchen, as it meant that I could come and go as needed without disturbing anyone. The use of the drive for parking was also really handy. Would definitely recommend :)

Glenda and Richard were lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome in their home. It was a very comfortable room which looked just like the photograph on the website. The house is a fine detached residence in a desirable location with easy access to main routes and local facilities. Breakfast was a friendly affair with pleasant interaction between us and our hosts. We were given free access to the kitchen for coffee and tea. We shall definitely return when visiting this part of London again.
David2015-11-10T00:00:00ZGlenda and Richard were wonderful hosts, great cooks, and a lot of fun to get to know, I couldn't have asked for a better first Air BnB experience. They have traveled far and wide and have lots of stories to share and were interested to hear mine. I had a relatively long stay (10 days) and they were easy going and tried to help me out with my travel needs and questions. The room is quite comfortable (two single beds) and having access to a nice private bathroom with tub was a big plus. They were very kind and gave me a ride to an out of the way location for a fee and often offered a lift to the train station when they were available. If you do not have a car and will be travelling frequently by train keep in mind that the two closest stations are about a 20 min walk away. I made use of the local bus service which I found quite convenient. The location is lovely, green and peaceful and there are a number of restaurants, cafes and shops within a 10 minute walk on Esher High Street. The cinema there was changing hands when I visited.
Aparna2015-10-27T00:00:00ZGlenda and her family were really so warm and friendly, truely excellent hostess. My room was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The accomodation is on the bus route, within walking distance of shops and restaurants in such a lovely area. I would recommend this accomodation to my friends and would definitely return myself.
June2014-10-05T00:00:00ZGlenda & Richard were delightful hosts! A couple who obviously enjoy life and sharing their experiences. The property was just as described, with lovely comfortable bedroom comprising 2 single beds, plus use of private bathroom. A super relaxed breakfast was served. The stay really made our weekend 'complete' - many famous attractions are available in the vicinity (Hampton a Court etc)
Mark2015-10-05T00:00:00ZMy stay with Glenda and Richard was most pleasant, I would recommend this accommodation without hesitation. The house is clean and homely and the hosts are sociable, respectful and know how to make you feel welcome. The neighbourhood is peaceful, the house is situate at walking distance from Esher high street, where you can get all you need. While there, I have been working in Kingston, which is about half an hour a bus ride.
giacomo2014-11-30T00:00:00ZGlenda was very welcoming. The room was extremely comfortable and home-like. The house itself is great with a huge garden. Atmosphere was very peaceful and calming. I've rarely ever slept in a place with so much comfort. Definitely recommended.
Divyjyot2014-10-04T00:00:00ZWe were warmly welcomed by Glenda to her lovely home. We were in the UK (specifically Esher) for a family event so the location could not have been more ideal.

John was amazing host. I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay while I was working in Surbiton. It was a short commute to work every day and John made sure I was loaded up with a coffee every morning and offered breakfast if required. Top guy all round.
Stephen2016-09-16T00:00:00ZJohn was an exceptional host.. very accommodating, friendly, considerate and generous, just to mention a few of his attributes. Highly recommended..
Simon2016-09-09T00:00:00ZJohn is a very friendly host with a very beautiful home! The setting is absolutely stunning and the house has a very 'cottage-like' feel despite being so close to central London. There are many lovely walks in the surrounding area and a visit to Claremont Garedens National Trust is highly recommended. The bedroom and bathroom are spotless (the rest of the house also follows this trend) and a very good size, perfect for long stays. John is very sociable and will always be around to answer any questions or for a chat. Thank you very much for having me to stay John!
Megan2016-08-15T00:00:00ZCannot imagine a better host or a better place to stay. Everything an Airbnb should be .... Immaculately clean, comfortable. John is a cultured and generous host ... Nothing too much trouble Highly recommended.
Peter2016-06-14T00:00:00ZI had a fantastic stay with John - he is a brilliant host and had lots of helpful info about the area. The room is perfect for an extended stay - with enough space to work and your own bathroom. I was there for three weeks and felt at home from the moment I arrived. I really enjoyed staying with john - always plenty to talk about but also had plenty of my own space/time.

We had a brilliant stay, lovely house, perfect location and Marie was very friendly!
Stephanie2015-06-30T00:00:00ZMarie is a wonderful host, warm hearted, welcoming and a very interesting lady to chat to too. Going out of her way to make our stay was top of her priority list and enabled a smooth check-in and resulted in a truly comfortably homely stay. Everything was as described and overall made for yet another great Airbnb stay. Oh, and the neighbourhood is fab too, close to the train station, shops and amenities. Just what we needed. Thanks Marie! Claire & Mark x
Claire2016-09-12T00:00:00ZI spent a week with Marie-J and within a couple of days was placing further bookings. The accommodation is as advertised and very convenient for anybody requiring easy access to central London. Claygate has a lovely feel to it and there are plenty of options for eating out and passing the evenings away. Marie-J is also a great host, friendly, very easy to chat to and keen to ensure that your stay is good one. Saved into my favourites.
Jean-Paul 2015-06-30T00:00:00ZHad a lovely stay at Marie's place just for a night though. I was privileged to be her first guest through airbnb. I would equate my experience to that of 4-5 star accommodation. Very spacious clean double room with ensuite, ample space for car parking within premise, Youngs' Pub bang opposite to the house serving delicious food. I couldn't have asked for a better deal. I would love to stay here again when I'm back in London.. a highly recommended host
Saravanan2014-10-13T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Dorothy and JohnMarie has a wonderful home right in the centre of Claygate. It's close to the station and shops with a nice pub just around the corner (good steak and chips!). Marie was a great host, made us feel really welcome. The room itself is spacious with a really nice ensuite. I'd definitely recommend staying there.
Patrick2014-11-10T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Marie's place. The room was very comfortable with its own spacious shower. The train station is just a short walk from the house and there are many shops and cafes nearby. We would love to stay with her again.
Marius2016-12-02T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely warm and friendly welcome from Marie Jose, access arrangements were easily agreed and the accommodation was very comfortable and spacious. Ample parking and lovely ensuite

David2016-08-10T00:00:00ZThanks for making us feel so welcome in your lovely flat. Tracey. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks too for the yummie breakfast goodies. Would have loved to stay longer. Perfect location for our trip to Hampton Court. My granddaughter really enjoyed visiting your garden.
Mary 2016-08-06T00:00:00ZOnce we found it - our fault not hers. Tracey was a fantastic and friendly host. Everything you need and more.
John2016-07-11T00:00:00ZFabulous accommodation, amazing host Tracey went over and above our expectations. Incredibly helpful with directions and tips for our trip very welcoming - we stayed here for an overnight stay while visiting Chessington world of adventures for our daughters 16th birthday! Tracey even provided cereal, breakfast provisions for us and definitely went that bit further by providing a lovely cake for Robyns birthday! Such a lovely thought!
Sharon2016-09-11T00:00:00ZTracy was a very welcoming host and made sure that we had everything we needed. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean
John2016-08-01T00:00:00ZTracey was a great host, she even came to pick us up because it was raining and we had no transport. Very kind.

Linda and Kevin are the most amazing hosts. They treated us like we were part of their home and couldn't have been more welcoming. Their property is exactly how described and was in excellent condition. We stayed there for nearly two months and genuinely felt quite sad to leave. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone. I now consider Linda and Kevin friends.
Anya2016-08-12T00:00:00ZDelightful annexe to Linda and Kevin's lovely home. Well-located, within half an hour of London by train. Linda and Kevin were extremely welcoming and hospitable, and the annex had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. A real 'home away from home' - highly recommended.
Rob2015-12-07T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful months stay in Linda and Kevin's flat which was exactly as described plus loads more. The neighbourhood is leafy and quiet and made for a home away from home. We did have a car, however, the lovely village of Hinchely Wood is only a 5 minute or so walk away where there is the train station with a direct line to Waterloo plus buses to lots of surrounding areas like Surbiton and Kingston on Thames. The village has a cafe, a couple of restaurants, convienience store etc. Linda and Kevin were wonderful hosts and we felt their warm welcome from the time we started making our booking. They have the wonderful talent of finding the balance between being hospitable while at the same time not encroaching on their guest's privacy. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
Marian2016-02-12T00:00:00ZWe were made to feel so welcome. Linda and Kevin have been terrific hosts. The house was immaculate and it has been a delight to stay. We were even invited to the street party!
Anya2016-06-28T00:00:00ZHave stayed at Linda and Kevin's place before and we were welcomed like friends as they are both Sso hospitable and obliging
Marian2016-09-22T00:00:00ZLinda and Kevin were incredible hosts. From the moment we reserved the flat, communication was prompt and thorough. Their flat was very clean and comfortable and they have thought of everything a guest may need. The beds were comfortable and it was a wonderful to have two full bathrooms. Their flat is literally 5 minutes from the train station allowing easy access to London. I enthusiastically recommend Linda and Kevin's flat.
Laura2016-01-02T00:00:00ZOur hosts provide a lovely place, beautifully presented and very well appointed in a nice quiet residential neighbourhood. My wife and I thoroughly recommend staying here.
Trevor2016-08-30T00:00:00ZLinda & Kevin were the loveliest hosts, welcoming us into their home as if we were family and providing us with an excellent little annex, fully equipped and ready to go - even a picnic hamper! We had complete independence, but they were always available to answer any questions and helped us to find our way around the area. we loved our visit to Esher and would definitely stay there again, if they would have us!

Town Square
Almanac editorial: Renew Portola Valley utility tax
Original post made by News Guy, another community, on Oct 23, 2009
For those who volunteer and work for Portola Valley's town government, passage of Measures P, Q and R in the Nov. 3 election is viewed as absolutely necessary if the town is to maintain its current level of services.
The measures reauthorizes the town's 24-year-old utility tax that costs the average homeowner about $250 a year. The 4.5 percent assessment on utilities, including gas, electric and water, would be used to keep the government running, while income from an additional 2 percent tax would be funneled into the town's fund to purchase open space.
The tax is opposed by Ed Wells, the town's first treasurer, and some of his fellow conservatives, who say the town has plenty of money and could easily survive without the tax income, a case he makes in the adjoining guest opinion.
But regardless of Mr. Wells' numbers, the town's budget director and top administrator, as well as council members and former mayors, disagree, and say his analysis is a sham that mixes budget numbers with actual income.
We support town officials on this one, and urge Portola Valley residents to vote yes on Measures P, Q and R (a vote for all three is necessary to pass both measures) and continue to support their government in this relatively painless way.

First Lessons
this wiki
When approaching the bridge to the College, the guardian of the bridge, Faralda, will ask the Dragonborn in order to prove their ability to enter the College, by casting a spell, selected randomly. The spell's level will depend on one's level and perks. If the Dragonborn does not know the spell, they can buy its spell tome from her very cheap (for 30 ). They must, however, possess enough Magicka to cast the spell that she asks them to demonstrate. The Dragonborn may try to circumvent this test by Persuasion; however, it requires a very difficult Speech check.
Alternatively, the option to say they are the Dragonborn can be chosen, and instead of a spell, they will be asked to demonstrate the Voice. (This is only an option during the quest "Elder Knowledge".)
She will then lead the Dragonborn to the College and give them a quest to speak with the College leader Mirabelle Ervine (Master Wizard), a mage in the courtyard. This allows the Dragonborn access to the College of Winterhold. She will give some Novice Robes and a Novice Hood to wear if one chooses so. These robes will have an enchantment to make certain spells cost less. The set is basically the same as the first robe and hood he/she came across when escaping from Helgen Keep.
The Dragonborn will then be taken on a short tour of the College and be told to see Tolfdir in the Hall of the Elements where he is giving a lecture. Tolfdir is teaching three other students and the protagonist about the importance of safety while learning Magic. After a brief exchange with everyone, he decides to ask for the Dragonborn's help in a practical demonstration of ward spells. If one does not have a ward spell learned, he will teach him/her the Lesser Ward spell for free. Then they will be asked to defend himself/herself with a ward spell while he casts a long-range fire spell at them (either always a weakened version of firebolt, OR, it's possible the type and power of which is determined by one's level and one's ward spell's level). Once the Dragonborn has defended themselves, Tolfdir will ask the class to travel to Saarthal to take part in an expedition.
Journal Entry |
I've found the College of Winterhold, where mages study the arcane arts in Skyrim. If I want to learn more about magic, I'll need to join their ranks.
In order to join the College of Winterhold, I need to show I'm capable of simple magic by casting a Magelight spell.
In order to join the College of Winterhold, I need to show I'm capable of simple magic by summoning a Flame Atronach.
In order to join the College of Winterhold, I need to show I'm capable of simple magic by casting a Firebolt spell.
In order to join the College of Winterhold, I need to show I'm capable of simple magic by casting a Fear spell.
In order to join the College of Winterhold, I need to show I'm capable of simple magic by casting Healing Hands on Nirya at the entrance to the College.
I've been allowed to join the College of Winterhold, and need to find Mirablle Ervine for a tour of the grounds.
I have joined the College of Winterhold. Mirabelle Ervine has agreed to show me around in order to become familiar with the grounds.
I have joined the College of Winterhold, and after a tour of the grounds need to find Tolfdir, who looks after the new Apprentices.
After joining the College of Winterhold and speaking with Tolfdir, I've learned a bit about wards and will be accompanying some of the others on an expedition.
- When heading towards Mirabelle, the Dragonborn can see her having an argument with Ancano. She says that the Thalmor will not get special treatment, like with the Empire, but Ancano is here because the Arch-Mage is allowing him to be.
- It is acceptable to use Spellbreaker when asked to cast a ward by Tolfdir.

Winter weather is here for the Manassas, Va. area and the City of Manassas Utilities and Public Works Department is well armed with salt, sand and trucks. The City of Manassas Utilities and Public Works Department annually budgets approximately $225,000 for snow treatment and removal, and is prepared with 21 snow-removal trucks, 20 contract equipment, 1500 tons of road salt and 500 tons of sand. For details, go to www.manassascity.org or call 703-257-8219.
"We all remember the long winter last year, so we've prepared to clear and pre-treat our roads to allow for safer and easier access to roads," said Mike Moon, director of public works and utilities for the City of Manassas.
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) - Summer officially begins today! Now that everyone is out of school, it's time to enjoy the summer. We've put together some fun free activities the whole family can enjoy.
Monthly Events:
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) -- Myra Oppel was sitting in her office at Pepco's Headquarters when the Derecho of 2012 hit.
She watched as the power company's outages jumped from a few thousand to almost half a million. By the time it was all over, more than two-million people in Virginia, Maryland, and the District were in the dark, and it would take nearly two weeks before all the power was restored.
Almost a year later, Oppel met with WUSA9 to discuss what Pepco's doing to prepare for this latest round of storms.
The City of Manassas Department of Public Works and Utilities serves more than 15,000 customers and with the cold season coming, it's just as important for Manassas to prepare for the cooler temperatures as it is for the home owner. Manassas City's ongoing tree-trimming program helps to prevent most electric interruptions during storms, which costs $60,000 annually. With cooler nights already forcing many to turn their heat on, City of Manassas suggests these eight tips in helping to conserve this year's heating bill. For more information and tips, go to www.manassascity.org.
"Preparing your home before the winter months is essential in helping to conserve energy and save on heating bills," said Mike Moon, City of Manassas, director of utilities and public works.
Here are some steps to help save on heating bills:
ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) - It could happen. With upcoming storm Sandy threatening to potentially leave you in the dark, now is the time to buy the items that'll keep you plugged in.
Nathan Karcz of Eastern Mountain Sports in Arlington, Virginia showed us the latest camping gear that help you keep your phone charged, and maybe even your stomach full.
First, he showed us some headlamps, small lights that attach to your head with an elastic headband. "They are great, they provide LED light, you don't have to worry about the batteries going out," he said.
WASHINGTON (WUSA) --Due to severe weather moving through the D.C. area on Tuesday, the following after school activities have been canceled.
1. Arlington Public Schools canceled afternoon activities & late buses. Extended Day operate as normal. No change evening activities. #APS
2. All Frederick County Public Schools afterschool and evening activities are canceled due to inclement weather.
3. All after school and evening student and community activities in Prince William County are cancelled due to the potential for severe weather. School Age Child Care (SACC) will close at its regular time.
On June 29th, like so many in the path of the Derecho, my power went out around 10PM. For roughly two days. Almost immediately I felt an itchiness arising from my carpet. By Sunday, since my apartment faces West and catches the afternoon Sun, I sought shelter in a hotel, as the temperature in my unit was fast approaching 90 degrees. I'm originally from upstate New York. Growing up, Summer was six weeks. I don't do heat, let alone this!
When I swung by my abode Monday morning, I had power, so I checked out of my temporary digs. The A/C was on; the apartment was cooling; but the scratchiness remained.

A little more hair
I took this photo earlier today to show off my new hair growth. Soon I will have actual bangs again and will no longer resemble my middle-aged, balding brother (if I had one).
I wondered recently if strangers have trouble telling if I am male or female from just looking at my face. I decided that no one only looks at your face: we use all the visual clues available. So in my case, the fact that I wear a pink coat or earrings might be the giveaway.

I had cancer treatment a few years ago and it really is difficult to treat with chemotherapy, exams, and the painkillers known as Hydrocodone, Lorcet, Norco given to us to combat the pain of the disease.

Jill my dear. You've expressed this concern before and I've taken a hard look at you. No one is mistaking you for a man. It's really not all about the hair. Some of my most feminine friends in recent years had voluntarily shaved or extremely short hair. Some can pull it off and you do it well.

I respectfully disagree. Many of us who use Perl care very much about good style and maintainable code, and some more guidance in the books would be helpful.

Amanda Wachob Finds Spirituality in Her 'Bloodline' Art
Amanda Wachob is innovating like a champ when it comes to tattoo artistry. Her latest feat in the tattoo community is her symbolic 'bloodline' art. These tattoos are made without ink, but rather with distilled water. While these tattoos are not permanent, the shape of the tattoo represents something greater and deeper than just its image and it is said when your body heals from this 'bloodline' art, it absorbs the message of the tattoo.

Today in The Journal News
The Mets were somehow the team with more life as they beat the Yankees yesterday.
Sam Borden writes about Fernando Nieve joining the ranks of unknown pitchers who come up big in the Subway Series.
The Mets rebounded quickly from the their Friday debacle. Ernie Palladino has that story.
Brian Bruney has no time for Francisco Rodriguez. K-Rod has no idea who Bruney is. The fight is on. This notebook also has updates on Gary Sheffield and Johnny Damon.
Is Mariano Rivera merely really good instead of dominant?
Finally, check out the touching story Sam Borden did on why Joe Girardi and Michael Kay are so committed to the fight against Alzheimer's Disease.

The story started out ok
But you had to go and ruin it with your own desire to be humiliated. There is nothing wrong with a black cock. I like to suck them and so does my wife. We also love to suck white cocks (our favorite) But you you humiliation of a man you had to make the black a super fly character...I think you are really a nigger and I do mean that in the true sense of the word.
by Anonymous07/04/09I love it too!
I can relate.......We're a middle aged white couple living in Wash., DC and for over 20 years I have watched big black cocks pound my wife. She gets fucked a LOT and I always eat the creampie. About 8 years ago she said she wanted to watch me to suck a cock......I didn't hesitate and I have sucked untold hundreds of hard dicks since.

Sammy is particular. He knows we don't manufacture suits. We make them. Much the way a Saville Row tailor makes his. Mostly by hand. We hand-cut the cloth. Then we shape it. And button-hole it. By hand. In all, we put an average of 40% more hand-shaping into our suits than you'll find in other suits that cost as much. Or more. Why? Because it's the only way to be sure that the suit will fit. Precisely. So when a friend asks Sammy who his tailor is, he tells them.

It is said that people who drink Dr Pepper can do anything: dance till dawn, have dimples when they smile, make bushels of money.
And we have a laboratory full of wealthy, dimpled dancers to prove it!
Obviously, Dr Pepper is no dull, run-of-the-mill soft drink. It tastes brighter. And it's really much more than refreshing: it's the real pepper-upper active folks need to keep up with the busy lives they lead.
Now that Dr Pepper is available almost everywhere, there's no reason for anyone to fail at anything! Have a frosty bottle of Dr Pepper and face the world with a conquering heart.
Ha-Ha? We try to make Dr Pepper ads funny (more or less) so you'll enjoy reading them. But we're serious about wanting you to try a carton or two. Dr Pepper is as good as we say it is. But please don't take our word for it. Buy some, instead, today."

Lions, Chiefs set out with 'kill' in their mind
- Written by Theodore Jurado
- Published in Basketball
- Read: 314
LOSING twice to a potential Finals opponent before the Final Four is not a good sign for Arellano University.
But that is farthest in the mind of coach Jerry Codinera right now. The thing that keeps the Chiefs going is the twice-to-beat advantage that they worked hard to achieve in the eliminations where they finished second behind San Beda.
"Hindi na kami masyado sasama ang loob sa mga talo namin. Kailangang maging positive lang kami," said Codinera.
Hoping to rebound from the back-to-back setbacks suffered from the hands of San Beda, Arellano goes for the kill against dangerous Mapua in the NCAA seniors basketball semifinals set today at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The second-ranked Chiefs need only to prevail in the 4 p.m. match to clinch their second championship appearance in three years and, possibly, another showdown with the Red Lions.
Also holding a twice-to-beat edge, San Beda guns for a 12th successive title round appearance as it tangles a familiar Final Four nemesis in University of Perpetual Help System Dalta in the curtain raiser at 2 p.m.
The Chiefs backcourt of Jiovanni Jalalon and Kent Salado may have very consistent all-season long, but Codinera noticed the alarming dip on slotman Lervin Flores' game, especially in the second round.
Flores is expected to have his hands full on the Cardinals' bullstrong center Allwell Oraeme, who is tipped to win a second consecutive MVP award.
"Nawawala siya sa mga distractions. First time ng bata sa ganitong mga adulation, sa ganitong stage sa buhay niya, ang Final Four. Nao-overwhelm so I try to tell him to focus," said Codinera on Flores.
Arellano may have beaten Mapua twice in the eliminations, but for Codinera, Final Four is a different story.
Behind Oraeme and CJ Isit, the Cardinals rode on a strong second round showing to finish third and secure a second consecutive semis stint.
"Basketball is a game of adjustments, game of streaks and game of breaks. Kung sino ang maka-adjust, yun ang mananalo," said Codinera.
The top seeded Lions made quick work of the Altas in their three previous Final Four meetings from 2012-14 and the Mendiola-based cagers hope to do it again.
Coach Jamike Jarin, however, downplayed the notion that San Beda is peaking at the right time despite losing slotman Donald Tankoua.
"I don't want to say anything that will motivate our opponents," said Jarin.
"I just want to thank the 15 young men around me, the few coaches that we have and the administration for winning and making it to No. 1. But everything is down the drain, it doesn't matter where you are. The most important game is on Friday (today)."
Perpetual Help, which last made it to the Finals in 2004, hopes to extend its season with the return of Bright Akhuetie, who was suspended by the team in last week's 63-67 defeat to Mapua.
