Touch of East in London
Just renovated, to very decent standard, house in quite location, but close to all amenities.
We had been staying in very spacious, frontal, ground floor room. No en-suite, but x2 new large shared bathrooms next doors, no queuing etc.
Kitchen was also shared space, with access to small garden/patio, what we did not use.
Landlord Deniz and his mum are very, very nice, heavy working but gentle people.
Need to mention that, it is a Muslim home, when we are of different fate.
We did arrived in the middle of Ramadan, not knowing anything about it, or about Muslim house roles.
Our hosts had been very tactful, tolerant and patient, with explaining to us few simple guidelines.
We felt very appreciated, and respected all the time.
It was real pleasure, and great experience to see a bit of different Culture from the inside.
Turkish, home-made sweets were delightful. Home was spotless, and genuinely felt like a Home, not just another house.
... and lastly, if you need telly to exist, then get yourself a laptop.
;-)
We are not frequent visitors in London, but will probably visit more often, knowing Deniz and his mum.
Thank you both, very very much.
