I am really glad I stayed at Maria’s and her husband’s place. I didn’t really get to talk to them as I only used the apartment to sleep in. I got into trouble with accommodation as I had to stay in London two more nights than planned. They accepted my reservation just a few mins after I asked and an hour before I needed to check in. Their apartment was fully equipped for everything I needed. And it was close to tennis courts - around 15 mins walk or 5 mins by cab. Recommended by me!
