Luciana and Alex's apartment is very pleasant and very well located for visiting London. Many buses pass very close to the apartment. The neighborhood is pleasant. I enjoyed the company of Eros.
Luciana has been very nice and helpful and we felt very welcome. We booked pretty short term but we got everything settled.
The home is very nicely placed near a lot of bus lines and tubes, so it is very easy to get around. There are a lot of shops and small eating places outside as well.
The cat is very friendly and has given us and our son a lot of joy as we dont have pets ourselves.
We would highly recommend this home for a nice London stay
One small comment: For noise-sensitive people we do recommend ear plugs as a quite noisy rail line is just outside the window.
We look forward to welcoming them back to our home.
The exchange went very well.
Communication with Luciana was very smooth.
The apartment is very well appointed.
THANKS
Thank you so much Virgine, it’s great to hear that you had a nice time at our home.
The exchange with Luciana made our trip to London even more special. His cat Eros stole our hearts and left us more than one anecdote. And Luciana was very kind and took the time to give us welcome instructions, and to explain how the house works, as well as being very attentive to us during the days we were in her cozy apartment. She opened the doors of her house for us with complete confidence and our only regret is not having been able to meet Luciana and her partner in person, who both transmit very good energy :)
Thank you so much Janira, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and would also love to meet next time!
we didn't see each other much but she was really nice and left the place clean! She is always welcome if she ever wants to return.
Luciana and Alex took care of my house. I met Luciana who is a very nice person. She gave me useful tips for visiting London.
Luciana's stay was a brief 3 days, but I was really glad to hear that how she loved her stay in NYC. When I was offered some of her mate (Peruvian tea, I think?) for me to try at the end of her stay, I knew Luciana is truly, literally, "people like us". I told Luciana I even have a special strainer-straw for mate somewhere in my kitchen drawer.
She was very very tidy and clean, and left the apartment as clean as it can be. She gave a lot of love to my cat, SP too. She and her partner are welcome anytime, and I would like to meet her in person next time.
Gerdy was so kind to me, she hosted me at her house upon the last minute cancellation of my previously arranged exchange. She helped me with many practical details about the city and I even borrowed her bike. I really enjoyed chatting with her, she loves music and sports. I also got to meet her lovely children once. Would love to have them around at some point!
Thank you so much for hosting us, Valérie. We had a beautiful time discovering the region and were very comfortable at your home. Thanks you for letting us use your bike and your car, that was very convenient. The house has lots of space and was very cool in the summer.
Valérie was a lovely guest, our cat was very happy to have her around. Communication was fluid and she gave us a handmade present!
Tomoko has been very kind and communicative throughout. I had a great time at Tomoko's cosy home and was very lucky to meet her lovely cat SP!!
Oksana and her family have been wonderful guests. They were very communicative and respectful and cared for our cat with kindness and joy.
Lovely guests, communication was effective throughout and they took really good care of our cat. They even started a guest book for our home, thanks!
Very caring guests, communication was smooth throughout and they were very nice to our cat. We would love to have them around again at some point.
