Travel

We did a three week trip to Scotland with our daughters several years ago and stayed in "self-catering" cottages. We loved having the space and ability to cook our own meals. We have rented apartments/houses/cottages throughout Europe. I have had good luck with TripAdvisor. I have also used Homeaway.com which is affiliated with VRBO.

I believe a "double room" just means two people, not necessarily a double bed. For answers to that and shower issues, I think you can get the best information by emailing the property owner. The Homeaway properties generally have photographs of the rooms which would let you evaluate bathrooms and they will also indicate the size of the beds.

When we were in London for a week in 2016, I rented an apartment in Chelsea through onefinestay.com. They tend to have higher end properties and their customer service is exceptional.

Isn't DU a wonderful place! We can discuss politics AND vacation trips.

Good luck and have a fabulous time.
