Rita was a wonderful host. From our very first correspondences, she was responsive and extremely helpful. She even helped us figure out logistics so that my son could attend an Arsenal game while we were in London. Once we arrived at her place, she continued to be a valuable resource on getting around. Also, we wound up having to extend our stay twice (from an original 5 days to 9 days), and she was flexible about that. Rita was really an ideal host!
The apartment itself was very charming. It was a good size for our family of 4. And there are lots of restaurants in the neighborhood. The only minor thing that might be an issue for some is that the apt is in a 2-fare zone (i.e. you need to take a bus to get to the Tube). After a long, tiring day of sightseeing, it would have been better to get home directly with just a Tube ride. But that said, the bus is close to the apt, and I would still recommend this place.
