I stayed with Elena for six nights at the end of July.
The communication prior to my upcoming trip was very good as I got quick response to my questions.
I ordered half board and food she served was delicious.
Besides, Elena is a person who entertains and inspires guests. She has profound knowledge of the area and can be of tremendous support when it comes to planning your stay in London tailored to the guests preferences.
She is an open minded person and talkative but leaves the guest privacy if requested. Without any hesitation I can truly recommend Elena if guest desire to boost there English while being at her house. Finally. In terms of of public transport central London is reachable by train in 35 minutes it it just takes a 5min walk to get to the next train station. Again, Elena it was a pleasure staying at your house.
