I had an amazing time in London and big part of that was thanks to Radhika & Lorenzo. That made me feel welcome from my very meeting, and that I was more then just someone renting their room, but indeed a new friend they invited into their lives. They are both such amazing people.
Radhika an amazing accomplished actress, with a loving, inviting personality and heart of a lion. Who on a night out with them to celebrate both her birthday and to see Lorenzo amazing jazz band perform, Radhika stood up to a want-to-be-bar-manager at the local jazz club, never raising her tone and still sent him away from bothering us anymore so we could enjoy the music and one another's company. She is my new hero.
And my other host; Radhika's boyfriend Lorenzo; an absolutely genuine person. Who welcomed me into his home, and went out of his way many times to make my stay amazing. Lorenzo is a brilliant music teacher and guitarist/song writer for the incredible jazz band the Simians of Swing, whose musical style and sophistication blended beautifully with their own amazing performing presence that takes audiences through a music story with a swinging pulse and passion. I was lucky enough to invited to here them perform with their new lead vocalist and songstress Sarah, whose lovely voice captivated my heart and guided me through their musical tale.
Besides Lorenzo and Radhika, I got the delight to also a bit with Lorenzo's lovely nieces from Italy, who were very friend and sweet. As well as Lorenzo's and Radhika's amazing friends as we celebrated Radhika's birthday.
I should say a little about the flat itself. The room was amazing, big enough for a 6'5" giant like me to stay comfortably, they provided everything I needed from warm blankets and towels, to a big bathtub/shower and plenty of space in the kitchen to prepare my lunches, and enjoy a good cup of tea. The flag is located very close to many shops, the Whitechapel tube station, with restaurant like The Urban Cafe and Tayyabs only a few blocks away and even the Royal Hospital on London completely with Hospital museum.
For an amazing trip that promises to be fun and unique I highly recommend Radhika and Lorenzo's Airbnb. Myself I plan to be out that way again from the New York City area and would love to stay with them again in a heartbeat.
Sincerely
Rob Conn
