Nicholas was a fantastic host and the house was mazing. The four of us (a couple, 14 year old boy, 9 year old girl) stayed in two rooms in his house for a week.

The location isn't perfect. The first day we walked to Balham Station, which is about three minutes away. From there we had to transfer to the tube. The other days we walked about 10 minutes to Tooting Bec, which is on the Northern Line, a great line to get to historic London. The walk to the tube stop took us past two great and inexpensive restaurants. An Indian take-out and Meza, an AMAZING Lebanese restaurant.

Everything else is perfect. The house is on a beautiful street, surrounded by million pound houses. The house is cozy. The shower is powerful. The tub is a giant claw foot tub. The kitchen is nice. The giant 3D TV and cozy couches make for a comfortable living room. A huge park is one block away.

Nicholas is a charming host. Visiting with him is like taking a cultural tour. He's so posh, so polite and thoughtful.

When we return to London we plan to stay here again.
