This was my first trip abroad on my own. Trish made me feel welcomed from my first step through the door. She gave me helpful hints about local touring. I think I took them all, and had a better experience for it. I loved the neighborhood and so many choices of tube stations and bus lines. Another big plus for me was the ability to wash clothes. I chose to pack light because of it. And last, but not least, for me it's not a home without a 4-footed friend around, and sweet Ozzy and I hit it off. Happy New Year Trish and family, thank you for being a part of my favorite holiday ever :-) Elizabeth
