"It is our last full day today in London City and we will return to Germany tomorrow. I just want to let you know that we had a wonderful time, did a lot of sightseeing and really, really enjoyed the stay in your apartment. Great location, everything super. We definitely will be back next year.Thanks a lot !!!!! Thank you very much for everything Christine! It was a fabulous holiday. Take care "
"so far it is a great place and i'd stay again. you have thought well about what is needed in such a flat"
"We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer. I even watched the BBC news with regards to the G-20 summit this morning while working out at the gym and could see some familiar sites in the background. My children loved learning about the history, especially with regards to world war 2. My daughter just had to go see the O2 arena and the exposition on the British Music Experience and the Beatles display at the British Library. It was one of our best trips yet. And we appreciated having a nice
place to come to after each busy, busy day. All the best, Filomena"
"We had a lovely time Christine and want to thank you sincerely. Everything was just as you advertised and more so, the staff at the front desk couldn't have been more helpful and we particularly enjoyed "La Figa" restaurant on the piazza. Will certainly keep in touch for our next visit to London, best regards Theresa"
