This was my first trip to Europe/London and I was traveling as a female by myself. Ann helped make my trip an amazing experience!!! First, before even getting to London Ann was super helpful in answering any questions I had on places to go in London, how to get around, what to bring, etc., and she responded very quickly to my emails. Gave me detailed information on how to get from the airport to her home upon arrival. Trust me you want to follow her instructions, she will help you in saving money in London and avoiding going the long way around when getting places. Her place is very very clean and spacious. She is super sweet and such a lovely, kind host. It was like staying in London with my favorite Aunt. She offered continental breakfast every morning with choice of coffee or tea, along with wonderful conversation, suggestions on places to go and see, and explicit directions on how to get to those places. The neighborhood is a very lovely residential safe environment with easy easy access to all public transportation. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get anywhere I needed to go in London right from her home. She is such a wonderful woman and makes your stay extraordinary. I will definitely stay with her again when back in London.
