This is an absolutely perfect place to stay in London. We only had two nights to get a flavor of the city and were so happy we chose to stay with Mike and Maria to do it. They gave us amazing recommendations for what to do in their incredible neighborhood (breakfast along the canal, a Moroccan BBQ restaurant in an old brick warehouse, a fishmonger that turns into a cool gin & tonic bar at night), but one of our favorite things was just hanging out with the two of them at the house. It's the perfect version of a private room in a shared house because Mike and Maria are the cool, intelligent, kind, interesting friends that you WISH you had in London to stay with in the first place. When we come back, we'll stay here again for sure. Oh yeah, and everything everyone said about the bed is true. It's amazing. Best night of sleep we've had in Europe.
