First of all, Michael is awesome! He is very thorough and giving of helpful information from before you even arrive in London. I was traveling abroad alone for the first time and kind of nervous, so he went over my travel plans to make sure I was traveling from the airport in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Upon arrival, he showed me around and made sure I knew where everything was and also had an umbrella, maps, and lots of literature on things to do in London. He is very charming and a good conversationalist. He answered all of my questions and gave me step by step Tube directions when needed. His home was always perfectly neat and clean. I was very comfortable as a female lone traveler in his home. The location is amazing and walkable to many different neighborhoods. Also, I have to give a shout out to Dishoom, an Indian restaurant right around the corner... it is delicious food and serves breakfast (I recommend the bacon naan breakfast sandwich and chai), lunch and dinner (I recommend the fried okra, and the chicken ruby with roti).
I will definitely choose to stay with Michael again the next time I’m in London!
