I have a friend that will be making a 3-month trip to Kenya soon. At the end of the trip, she will be coming back to the United States by way of London, and has to stay 5 days there. In attempteing to look up possible accomodations there for her (and her luggage), she discovered that the cheapest she can find is about $400 for the 5 days. My question is this: is that really the lowest price one can pay for a 5-day stay in London, or are those just the only hotels that can be found on the Internet? Hostels are pretty much out, due to the 3 months worth of baggage.
