Paula and her home were absolutely amazing. Paula greeted us at the curb with a warm welcome and a big hug. This was my first time to London - to Europe even - and she definitely made me feel comfortable. She let us know all the great places around, and even had a little book of tips for us. Any time I messaged her, her responses were super fast. My friends and I (girls trip of 4 of us from New Jersey in the States) wanted Paula to come out to dinner with us and hang out, she was so amazing!
The house was great!! There is an awesome deck right outside the kitchen where I enjoyed a book and a glass of wine a few times. The rooms were all incredibly comfortable. The stairs she mentions in the listing were exactly that - stairs - but we didn't mind them since I'm SURE we needed to work off all the food and drinks we had all week :) They weren't a bother for us at all - four 40ish women with a few drinks in us each night! The house was clean, cute, functional, and completely comfortable. A true home away from home for us girls.
Barnes was amazing!!! We ate in town quite a few nights and found some great breakfast spots in the morning. There were plenty of stores nearby for food and booze. We went to a few of the restaurants nearby and had a great experience at all of them. We took an Uber into the city since there were 4 of us, one of which gets motion sickness pretty easily, although we were told public transportation is really easy there. We noticed the spots were very close to hop on the bus.
All four of us loved Paula, loved the house, and loved Barnes!!!
