Let me add one more voice to those singing the praises of this lovely home. I first saw the listing months before I had any hope of going to London - I was just dreaming - and I knew I wanted to stay there. When it turned out I really could go AND it was available, I was delighted. And the reality was even better. If you see something in the pictures or in what Shuna's written that draws you - listen to it: it really is all that.

It's comfortable, quiet; even though it's a shared home, there was never anything awkward or uncomfortable about it; I never felt like I didn't have privacy. The location is great for walking, convenient to the Underground.

But there's more to it than that. Mike and Shuna are really good people - not just warm and friendly and generous, but they've devoted their lives to making the world a better place. And the energy of that intention is palpable when you're in the house or talking with them. I was so excited to finally be in London that I spent most of my time out and about, but it was a haven to come back to. My only regret is to not have spent more time talking with them, but maybe one day I'll have that chance again.
