Elisabetta is a wonderful hostess -- friendly, discreet, and accommodating. The location was awesome -- just 3-5 minutes walk from the Thames, with a great view of Big Ben and Parliament, and 15 minutes walk from the Victoria Line, which can get you anywhere. Elisabetta was especially helpful at providing maps and tips on what to do and how to use the buses. She has a huge map of London in her study, and I loved to look at it to get my bearings for the city. I also enjoyed chatting with her about her research. Highly recommended!
