I spent 6 nights at the home of Samir and his family and I was certainly happy about my decision. Although we didn't get so many chances to chat as I was exploring London during the day time and often went to see a theatre play in the evening, Samir and I had a good talk when I first arrived. Both Samir and his wife are very kind and warm-hearted people and made me feel at home at their home.

The location was excellent, just a 10-minute walk (there is also a bus) from the Newbury Park tube station on the Central Line. A bonus is that you almost always get a seat on the tube when going into London!

To me it seemed like a very quiet neighborhood which was a nice change after hustle-and-bustle London center. There are stores and restaurants nearby which was convenient as I could pick up sth for my dinner or breakfast on the way home.

I will definitely stay with Samir and his family again should I go back to London in the near future and provided that he will host me again.

Thanks again and best regards from Milano.
