Gillian is a wonderful host. I very much enjoyed our conversations. She helped me plan trips around the city, explained where the stops are and where to eat cheap and tasty. The apartment is in a great location, close to stops, shops and restaurants. From the apartment, when you walk along the Thames you can get, for example, to the Westminster Palace. The apartment is very charming, full of paintings and art. The room is perfectly clean and very cozy with a large comfortable bed, where you can relax very well after a full-day city tour. I couldn't find a better place to stay in London. Gillian looked after me and my sister like mother :) She's really cute person. I highly recommend this place.
