Both Mike and Maria are interesting, friendly, and welcoming individuals. They were very low key and worked with my schedule. Also they really know how to barbecue :).

The room was cozy and clean with a picturesque view of the canal. The bed was perfect in every way and they made it up beautifully for me. In addition to the bedroom the bathroom was wonderful.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the neighborhood. Access to the canal walk, filled with chic galleries and restaurants, is right around the corner from their home. They were also patient and clear with directions around town.

I've stayed in five star hotels around the world, London included, and wouldn't stay anywhere but with Mike and Maria when I'm in town. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
