Tessa was a fantastic host. Her apartment was a great choice while I got on my feet in London: it was so centrally located, grocery store across the street, a friendly local pub on the corner, and a great street market during the week. Tessa is an excellent tour guide as she will give you both the scenic or the most direct route to get somewhere. I felt comfortable enough in Tessa's home to have a night in watching tv, or just having a chat with her when she was around. Her warm, friendly and welcoming nature made for a great stay.
