We had a moment of disaster when we arrived. I thought I had rented an apartment, not realizing that “ensuite” means a bed room (with a very comfortable queen sized bed and a small fridge up high) attached to a small WC with shower, toilet and sink. This one has a handy clothes-drying radiator as well. Wash things out tonight as you shower, hang them on the heated rack and they will be ready to wear in the morning.
When we decided to stay ensuite, Anetta brought us many small things to make our visit easier; big pillows to lean against for reading and breakfast in bed, tray to stabilize coffee cups and food, plates, dinnerware, instant coffee. We came to love this little ensuite nest, and were sorry to leave after a three week stay.
As advertised, the place is immaculate, and everything works, unlike our rental in France. Anetta and Toby are serious about careful maintenance, what a relief. This is a quiet neighborhood. People answered our hello as we passed them on the street.
The daily walk to and from the Tube for these two 80-year-olds was a pleasant beginning and end to each day. On the way, several nice restaurants await your entry, and just around the corner are many different shops, all detailed in an informative booklet that Anetta and Toby have prepared for you.
All in all this was a terrific experience. We hope to return, but maybe not to the ensuite. Next time we’ll take one of Anetta and Toby’s apartments.
