We picked Andrew’s house because we had children with us and it looked like the house was family friendly. Definitely great value for the money. You can easily fit two families. The personal touches were great ... Andrew had a bottle of wine ready for us and some sweets for the children.
The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures, it’s very clean and very comfortable. The beds were comfortable with sparkly clean sheets. The kitchen was large and fully equipped with a dining table big enough to fit 6 of us. We had everything we needed, from amenities to cooking gadgets. The backyard is just beautiful and very relaxing for a morning coffee or afternoon tea.
The house is on a quiet street located in a residential neighborhood, a short walk away from a park with a playground and other stores one might need. A great pub with a variety of really good food (they do takeout too) is just down the street.
If I had to pick one negative about our stay (but not the house) it would the location in relation to London’s city center. We were very much aware of this at the time of booking and it is indeed very easy to get there via train. But we did not know that taxi cabs will refuse to take us back to the house from downtown London. After a long day of sightseeing, being caught in a torrential rain with small children in tow and then having to deal with the rush hour crowds in small train car with no AC was a bit unpleasant. But that’s something good to know in order to plan ahead whenever you venture out ... it would not stop me from booking this place again in the future.
The booking process was smooth, Andrew was very responsive and helpful. During our stay we had no issues so we never had to contact him.
Overall I highly recommend Andrew’s place and would gladly stay there again!
