My heart did a little somersault when I walked into this room. It's even more beautiful and charming in person than in the photos. Some of my favorite things: the cross-breeze through the greenery on a summer night; relaxing in the soaking tub; the friendly creak of the venerable stairs; and spying the top of 30 St Mary Axe peering out from behind the Huguenot rooftops. Joy. The neighborhood is terrific, with a fascinating, often gritty, history (thumb through the books on the coffee table if you go). It's a world away from the crowded tourist spots. Z and Alex are the best, and so are their breakfasts!
