Perfection
Just a perfect place in a perfect location. Who would have thought that central London could be so peaceful and with such a wonderful community feel of friendliness. The accommodation is so well and interestingly designed and is clearly a much loved home with something interesting and beautiful wherever you happen to glance. Charlotte went the extra mile to make her home welcoming and also the same when we returned home. A gem of a place and host. And a sunny balcony for tea drinking too !

Sometimes I travel with my partner, sometimes alone (family grown up), sometimes with a friend or two. I am a travel addict with a love of beauty, nature and the arts. Good coffee, great food (not fancy) and a delicious wine enjoyed in a new location bring so much pleasure. Although I live slap bang in the middle of London, I love the countryside and particularly the coast. I have been lucky enough to travel widely but there are still so many places to visit ... hence a house swap. I adore life and live it to the full. My motto ... Live Love Laugh.
