Vladimir accepted our very short notice booking; we requested it as soon as we landed at Heathrow, and he walked us through which bus to catch to reach his home, hardly a 10 or 15 minute ride. His home was 2-300 meters from a couple different bus stops which was very helpful dependent on which Heathrow terminal we arrived and departed on. The house and room were very clean, elegant and beautifully decorated. The bed was nice- I also liked the pillow! It was a nice pit stop for an 18hr hour layover at Heathrow. We caught the 20-minute train downtown (Paddington) for dinner in the evening. Then this morning the 12min bus ride back to Heathrow.
