Jaco and his friend Julie were simply splendid to live with. I stayed for a week whilst I found a place to live in and their advice and local knowledge was invaluable during this time. They were both incredibly friendly and spent much of their time discussing options with me over a wine or two. The place was close to lots of public transport options so getting around was straight forward. The house itself was very clean and cosy. Jaco and Julie were officially my first London friends and I hope to keep in touch with them both.
