Quirky, bright and book-filled apartment with plenty of room for the four adult members of our party. Despite a sudden family illness which meant he was unable to welcome us at the flat, James was very good at providing a Plan B for check-in. Location was as advertised -- off-the-beaten track, in quiet Battersea square. Access to the Thames path is right around the corner, walk to Battersea Park is great at any time of day, and the 170 bus to and from Victoria square is just outside the door. Very functional kitchen and eating area, good shower, crisp linens and a great selection of dvds for late-night viewing. Typical early March weather did not allow us to use the terrace -- that would be an amazing plus, in our mind, in good weather. Only caveat is that adults cannot stand up in mezzanine sleeping area, but otherwise a good family/friend option at a reasonable price.
