Stan was a gracious host with whom it was easy to communicate in advance of my stay. He kindly showed me around his home and remained available for questions during my stay. He recommended several local restaurants and apps that proved quite helpful in navigating London.
His home was lovely - warm, well equipped, cozy - in other words, exactly as billed. And the location - close to shops and restaurants, as all as the underground and overground lines, made connecting with the city quite easy. I will be retuning to London in a few months and hope to be able to stay again.
