I felt very welcomed in Mary's beautiful and very clean home. They also have a most beautiful private garden in the backyard. It is a peaceful home. It was striking also how quiet the neighborhood is, considering it is within a very short walking distance to two metro stations and to different bus stops. - it's also a short travel with public transportation to the centre of London. I felt she did an immaculate job of balancing providing me with privacy, and being a caring host. This was the best conceivable home away from home for me. - thank you Mary!!!
