Akis is a friendly, relaxed, genuine, funny, and generous host. He made me feel welcome, communicated everything well, and shared some delicious meals with me. The room is serene, with its direct garden access, plentiful light, and black-out curtains. You have full use of the kitchen and some space in the refrigerator and cabinets for a few groceries. There's a small desk where you can sit with a laptop and catch up on email. Close to Piccadilly line and buses to Trafalgar square. Best of all, the cats are adorable.
