we loved our stay. Raffa's place proved to be a good base for us, as we continued our exploration of London. Communication was excellent. Raffa's son Joseph met us upon arrival, and was very courteous. The room was large with a comfortable double bed, and fridge, which was useful. We were treated to pizza and coffee on our last morning, both were delicious. Centre of London is about 45 minutes by the 343 bus. Cheap and regular service. Nice quiet neighborhood, friendly host.
