Pierre is more like a friend rather than a host. He's very friendly and helpful. During this special time he even took a part time job as a delivery man (haha) for his guest privately for free! What a nice chap! He really likes arts and Chinese traditional culture. There's a wall of DVDs of classic movies. And there're several paintings about Chinese traditional poems from a famous artist. We had a great conversation about that. The balcony is so beautiful that you can view the skyline of London. Not to mention the house is clean. Definitely recommend !
