Absolutely perfect stay. Beautiful house and beautiful people. Masha is genuinely one of the nicest persons I have ever met and you will feel specially welcome if your interests veer on the artistic side (Didn't get to meet John but I'm sure he's equally nice). Great location as well, quiet yet at a stone's throw from anything you could need. A Little tip: when going to the center, take the DLR instead of the regular rail, it is usually a lot less crammed and you will get to go through the Canary Wharf, which I personally love.
