Tess and Dan are as friendly and helpful as can be. They were waiting for us with tea and snacks and lots of helpful and fun suggestions for our stay in London. They had really great books and maps to lend us, too. We felt so comfortable with them and in their amazing garden pod. It was everything we'd hoped for. We loved the feeling of privacy and serenity in the beautiful Japanese style garden. Bird songs and greenery were the perfect beginning and end for a day in the city. Tess and Dan offered us so much, made phone callsfor us, wrote directions, told us so much about their cool off the beaten path neighborhood and London in general. We loved their cats, their house and our "pod". They are perfect hosts. We will recommend them to all our friends traveling to London
