Staying in Karolina's house was like staying in your own home. Neat, clean, everything that's needed in place. My daughter loved the place. Karolina and her friend Ewa was extremely helpful. Very prompt in answering all my queries. It's 30 -35mins approx from BigBen (taking into account the tie to walk to the station) So in a sense, it's not too far. But this distance is such that you would not want to go out to London, come back and go again. I highly recommend Karolinna's place.
