Farida was a prfectly charming host who made me feel at home from the first moment. Her house, situated in the most beautiful area in London, in the heart of Hampstead, is absolutely lovely. It is a cozy, comfortable and beautifully furnished place with a lot of character. Farida became a friend in the short time I was there - I was really looking forward to sharing a glass of wine with her in the evening after roaming around all day. Farida is wide-travelled herself and talking to her is interesting. I really enjoyed her company, hers and that of her lovely cat Didi. Of all the places I stayed at in London, this was absolutely the best. If one is looking for a really "English" experience - this is it, and at it's best! Thank you for your hospitality!
