Paulo brings amazing Italian hospitality to England. He made us feel so welcome and so comfortable, as everyone has already described. He even *gave* us his 2 electrical adapters after we blew the circuit with ours! The transport is plentiful and available from his place to anywhere you need to go. However, you still do have to figure it out (Paulo will totally help) and take it. Almost all of the time, it worked out that we had the place to ourselves. Excellent value because you get your own private bathroom, a good-sized bedroom, and very comfortable use of kitchen/diningroom etc. for an excellent cost. For London, we think this is very hard to come by!!
