Katie and Simon are wonderful hosts. Simon was pretty busy when we were there but we had lots of interaction with Katie and her kids, and even the dog :-) She made us feel right at home and part of the family and we shared some nice talks over breakfast. The room is not only spotless, but very tastefully done with really high quality furnishings. The bed was very comfortable - we slept late both mornings! Katie even helped us with taxi arrangements on our day of departure and gave us lots of good ideas for our days out. The neighborhood is a vibrant and diverse place which we really loved. We are already planning our next trip to London!
