Simon is lovely - kind, considerate, helpful, and interesting. He was in Canada when I arrived and he made arrangements with his sister to wait for me. Because of a flight cancellation, I did not get in until 12:30 am. Amanda was there and helpful. I chose this room because of its proximity to the National Theatre and Tate Modern and was not disappointed. Also close to the Young and Old Vic Theatres and Waterloo Station. The house is quite clean and very convenient. I lived in London before so I know where my interests lie - theatre, museums, and walking tours. I have no interest in anything Royal. For an American, London is cheap these days and the food has improved dramatically. This has been a fantastic trip and Simon is a gracious host. I could not have asked for a better experience.
