Melanies house is in a very nice area of London. It´s next to the river Thames, where you walk past nice pubs, rowing clubs and beautiful houses. It´s perfect to start a day full of sightseeing in London. The closer you get to town, the more housle and bustle starts. So it´s definetely worth staying this half an hour away from the city centre. The underground station ist only a few minutes away and the buses from Hammersmith bring you into the centre as well. Melanie is very friendly and fullfilles all wishes. I was traveling with my 10 year old son, and we felt so welcome and looked after by her. She had good tips for us and we definetely will be back.
