We arrived in London early afternoon and Roberto kindly arranged for a friend to be at the house so that we could leave our bags and begin our visit to London straight away.

The house is in a quiet residential area and was clean and full of natural light. We had our own en-suite bathroom with everything right down to shower gel and shampoo. It was quiet at night and we slept really well in a comfortable bed.

The local transport links are excellent: 5-10 minutes walk to either Underground at Caledonian Road or at Highbury & Islington (both one stop up from King’s Cross/St. Pancras on the Piccadilly and Victoria lines) or London Overground at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury for Richmond and Kew Gardens in one direction or Stratford for the Olympic stadium and park in the other.

As we were so busy, we were not able to talk with Roberto and Agata as much as we would have liked but they, and little Xavier, were very welcoming and Roberto replied quickly to my e-mails.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.

Highly recommended! We would definitely stay here again.
