It occurred to us we have yet to post pictures of where we're staying. This is the flat the firm rented for us. To have been given this flat to stay in has been the greatest gift of all. A hotel can never feel like home; not with cleaning staff coming and going at unknown hours, and having nothing more to your room than the minimal essentials to sleep and leave again. This apartment has given us the luxury of truly experiencing what it would be like to live in downtown London. We go grocery shopping, do laundry and wash dishes, while a cleaning staff comes once a week to vaccuum and such.
It is strange to think that going across the ocean to escape chores is not nearly as comforting as having those same chores waiting for you in London. Pauline and I would never trade this place for a hotel where our chores are taken care of. Can't explain it. It just makes one feel more human and at home.
