Oksana and Yuriy were delightful hosts. Their bedroom (they stayed in the living room) was very comfortable, and everything I could need was provided. They gave me free reign in their centrally located apartment and were full of helpful directions and advice for London living.

I honestly can't say enough about what friendly, warm, generous people they are. Oksana was around a lot to chat about arts and culture or help me track down any extras I might have forgotten (electrical adaptors, SIM card tray opener, nail clippers), but I never felt lacking in space or privacy. The three of us (plus their charming cat, Manushka) shared some food and wine together and generally enjoyed each other's company. It felt like a visit with some good friends.

Thanks so much, guys! I hope to return to your amazing city some day.
