5 I stayed here between November 2002 and June 2003, and it's one of the best places I've ever stayed in. The House was full of wonderful, warm and friendly people, and the prices were very competitive. Noriko does everything she can to get involved with her residents, and even though I was 12,000 miles away from London I felt like I was home. I will be coming back to Kiwi House one day!!
