My husband, 9 year old daughter and I stayed in Helen's place for a week this July. During travels, we enjoy staying away from the tourist central no matter where we are. The neighborhood is convenient for trains and buses which allows for easy transport to any desired excursions. But yet, coming home at the end of the day allowed for the elimination of tour buses and constant cameras. By the end of our trip, we felt like a local. Several pubs and restaurants are within walking distance. Helen's garden is beyond gorgeous and we managed to find a few hours to read outside amongst the beautiful flowers. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you, Helen!
