Monica was a lovely host, available to help whenever in need! The house is much nicer than in the pictures, and is conveniently located near small restaurants and shops and within easy access to both public transportation and cabs. It is located on a busy street, but the noise does not penetrate inside, and the bedroom is situated at the back, overlooking small gardens, as was the kitchen/dining room, so it was very peaceful and picturesque with plenty of sunshine. The bathroom and kitchen is very new and clean, and the house is in excellent condition. We were able to adjust the heating to our desire, so that too added comfort to our stay with our small children. So for us, it was a very comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved Monica's hospitality and the apartment and would love to come back, and feel we now have a 'home' in London too! Thank you Monica!!!
