It was my first time in the UK and I had a good experience here. Linda is kind and welcoming host, she showed me around the city and she always made sure how I was doing. Thank you very much!

5 hearts for accommodation but my own goes to the Linda. She was fabulous and so kind. As a person with special needs being accepted like that is so heartwarming and life-changing... I absolutely recommended. She is one-of-a-kind and I would love to return for some time again. Big plus is a handsome boy named Pickle. He was purrfect addition to warm welcome in their house.

Linda was a warm and welcoming host, and truly made my trip into London feel a little more like home. We even spent a day together visiting a few of her favourite local spots when I felt a little overwhelmed, which was very much appreciated. Would love to stay again at some point in the future.
Pickle the cat was also fantastic company, and deserves 5 hearts himself!
