Paolo was a very friendly host and we had a warm welcome in his house. After two weeks in Cornwall, we were excited to see many fresh towels, Soap, a washing machine and lots more. Even there were choccolate buns, croissants, fresh juice and cider in the fridge, so we had not to hurry for a shopping for the next day after a long journey. The rooms were big enough, the beds cosy and our older daughter had fun with the DVD collection (lots of horror films and crime stories as we like it ;-)The bus stop was about 3 minutes walk away and the SL11 bus always took us to North Greenwich station from where you could easily reach the London Transport System via Jubilee Line. But keep in mind, if you book attractions in London you should start early because it takes about 1 or 1,5 hours to central London depending on the traffic. The nights were very quiet although there is a street behind the house. If you are travelling with dogs, there is a forgotten golf club area and you can walk to the Thames. Dogs have to stay on the ground floor in the house but I think this is completely ok because not everybody wants dogs in his bed an it keeps upper floor tidy. Ours liked their bed in the livingroom. Checkout was very comfortable. Paolo allowed us to take as long as we liked, because there was no booking for next day. Thank you very much, Paolo, that was much less stress with two teenaged daughters ;-)The only thing he could add are flyscreens against mosquitos at night,rest was perfect!
