I have stayed with Jake, Jo, and Roo on many other trips to London. Their home (very stylin' and cool) is in a perfect location. The room you see online looks straight out over the trees in London Fields. It is so quiet and beautiful that you almost don't want to leave the place....or the neighborhood. All three of them are extremely helpful. One time Roo set the alarm on my phone. He is NOT technologically challenged (as I am, alas). Another visit Jo provided me with some red yarn to attach to my basic black suitcase (to make it more readily identifiable on baggage rounder). This time around I wrote to Jake because I was boiling in Rome (38 C) and wanted to come back through London sooner. He gave me some great advice: perhaps try an ice bath?
In short, you get the point: they are spectacular creative people, and it is a joy to stay at their place.
