I come from Charlottesville, VA, but I'm currently a grad student in the UK. I usually travel for study/research in the Mediterranean or for conferences/interviews in the US. I love affordable yet decent hotels close to the sights in historic cities.
April 8 2008: This B&B in an old Victorian house turned out to be a gem. We considered staying somewhere cheaper but charmless, but this place was so much better. Charming ambiance, everything scrupulously clean - plus the couple who run it are incredibly friendly and helpful. Just around the corner from the South Kensington tube stop, close to Kensington Palace and the Victoria & Albert Museum, the location's really good too.
Date of stay: March 2008
Purpose of stay: Leisure (With Friends/Group)
