It was so lovely to arrive in London for the first time after many weeks of travelling to Alejandra. She was so warm and welcoming, making me feel instantly at home. She had even bought some gorgeous flowers and chosen linen that she thought would be right for me - I loved it!

The fridge was stocked with all the coffee you could ever need and for tea drinkers there were beautiful herbal teas. As with all the other reviews the home made biscotti was amazing and such a nice touch!

The apartment itself was beautiful. So light filled, comfortable and calming. It was sad to say goodbye to it as I had felt very much at home.

I was slightly anxious about staying in Whitechapel, mainly because I had seen so many posts on the net asking if it was safe. It isn't the mayfair of London but if you want a cultural experience and very easy access to public transport it's well worth it. The spitalfields market and brick lane are a must. For a run I went along the canal which was beautiful. Also if you're up for something new there is a small aerial yoga studio nearby (lots of fun!).
