We had an absolutely wonderful time in London, much in part because of Marina's home. She was so generous with her time in parting a lot of local tips and shopping and restaurant recommendations, all of which were amazing. Her home is extremely comfortable. The couches are so plush and the mattresses and bedding were better than we had expected. We loved that the home was close to two bus lines, one that stopped directly in front of the home. The home is a lovely walk through neighborhood streets to Portobello Market and Notting Hill. But it's very quiet and that was a nice break from the hustle of the busier parts of London. My kids didn't want to leave by the end of our trip!
