I had the best experience I could have hoped for staying at Vanni's flat. It was apparent that the flat is indeed very loved- everything from the decor to the books and Vanni's hospitality made the flat feel just like a home away from home (as a side note- I will not be needing a good book recommendation for a very long time after taking note of some of the titles in Vanni's comprehensive collection!) . The location was perfect for exploring the local area as well as for traveling into Central London. I also had the pleasure of visiting a few of the locations listed in the travel guide, all of which were true neighborhood gems.
Thank you Vanni for allowing me to enjoy your gorgeous home!
