My girlfriend and me were spending the first weekend of October in London for sightseeing and watching a play so we had the opportunity to stay 3 days at Cristina's and Stefano's home . Both hosts made the weekend abroad even more enjoyable. We came quite late in the evening on a Friday but nevertheless Cristina welcomed us like friends she knows for years. After introducing us to the house, showing us our very clean bedroom ( including a comfy bed, fresh towels, water and a small welcome gift in form of chocolate ) and our own bathroom she offers us something to drink like tea or sth else whatever we want to drink . Also Stefano, who came a little later welcomes us very dearly . So we felt welcomed from the very first moment. We were allowed to use things for breakfast from the fridge, all sorts of tea, coffee and other things from their kitchen. Also hair dryer (especially useful for girls ) or adapter for charger were friendly provided.
During casual chatting Cristina and Stefano gave us a lot of useful information about London, attractions, activities, public transport like busstations, rail, tube and also an overview about shops, bars etc. in the direct neighborhood so it's impossible to feel lost. The flat is just 20 min away from the inner city so it's no long traveling by public transport.
I definitely would highly recommend Cristina's and Stefano's appartement to everbody who plans to spend a couple of days in London in a nice and comfortable atmosphere .
I guess it's hard to find more pleasant and friendly hosts .
Thank you guys for making the weekend even more memorable for us! We had a great time :)
