We had a wonderful time in London, and the stay at Louise and Shaff's home was just perfect. We brought our two kids, and their grandparents also came to stay, so their home was a great space for all of us as a base to stay in London.

The kids were delighted with all of the toys, and Louise and Shaff left us a very generous hamper full of provisions for our stay.

The beds were very comfortable, and their home is tastefully decorated, warm and welcoming.

In all, this house is a great offer for any family wishing to have a base to stay in a very accessible location in London. We would have had to pay more than 3 times the price had we stayed in a nearby (cheap) hotel for the same period.

Finally, Louise and Shaff kindly offered their home to us for an additional night at their cost owing to the traffic and transport disruption caused by localised storms. Had we not planned to stay with friends, we would have taken them up on their very kind offer. They didn't have to make us this offer, but to receive it from people we have never met was a wonderful gesture.
