Marie is an exceptional host. Friendly, helpful in every way and more like a member of one's family than a host. Our week long stay with her in London at the end of a long trip in Europe provided us with the ideal time we were seeking. Although sharing some facilities with Marie we never found this a problem. As expected, the room and unit was as described..spacious, clean etc. with great location and views of the Thames and London. Bus and underground transport was superb. Thanks again Marie.
