My wife and I deeply enjoyed staying at Terence's place during our recent trip to the UK. He did everything in his power to make us feel comfortable and welcome, from picking us up from the train station, to enjoying breakfast together -- we truly felt like guests in his home, not strangers.

The accommodations were extremely comfortable and well appointed. My wife especially enjoyed the recently refurbished guest bathroom, which is the rival of any 'hotel.' Terence and his family are likewise experts in their city and neighborhood, and were ready to give off beat recommendations to make our trip more memorable than simply sightseeing. To make it especially easy on us, Terence gave us a brief tour of the neighborhood, to make sure we knew where amenities like ATM's & transit stations could be found -- you can't beat that.

On the neighborhood: Terence's home is in a great location, close to lovely local eateries and pubs, with easy access to underground and bus. It's close enough to the city center that a 25 minute bus ride (or 10 minute Tube) will get you into the heart of the action, but far enough that you can escape all that and really unwind. It's a great way to see parts of London that many tourists skip.

Highly recommend staying with Terence! We certainly will the next time we're in London!
