The choice of living in a London Mews is a quiet and peaceful one, given London’s frantic, noisy pace – so Rhian’s 3 storey home offers great respite. Tucked away in Maida Vale Rhian runs it like a Lancashire clock. While it’s a healthy-hike to the nearest tube or overland, buses are bang on the doorstep.

The near by little Italian Da Daniela bistro and The Truscott Arms Hotel (run by theatre producers) are a short walk and v. good value. Further a-field is Notting Hill village, the ubiquitous Portobello and organic grocer at Clifton Gardens. If getting physical is your thing the Porchester Centre gym-pool is great value.

Back to the clock – Rhian’s a pro and will sort you out in no time – her dog which looks like a button, made of wool, is pretty cute to. Not sure if they are both Welsh but the Welsh are habitually friendly and accommodating. Plenty of guests blowing through to, who make it interesting if you enjoy a good conversation, so plenty of positives for the traveller.
