We are retired business executives and enjoy travelling. We are both from Canada but have been living in London for the past 18 years. We have 4 grown children - 2 in Canada and 2 in London. We have 5 grandchildren in Canada. We are recently empty nesters and would love to share our home with travellers with similar interests. We have a second home in Spain so we can be reasonably flexible with accommodating visitors in London.
We take pride in our home and would certainly look after your home as if it were our own.
