Daphne’s and Claudio’s place was perfect in every respect for our three-generation party of eight: ages 14-78. Its location—a five-minute walk from the South Kensington Underground station—adds immeasurably to its overall convenience. The neighborhood provides a terrific mix of quiet, restaurants, grocery stores, Waterstones, parks. The house itself felt like home: everything needed close at hand; everything beautiful, impeccable, and comfortable.
