Rob and Emiko's house in Clapham is warm & welcoming, and the eyrie in the roof was spacious, elegantly furnished and very comfortable with balcony doors which look down on neighbours' gardens.The en-suite bathroom was excellent with toiletries provided and a good shower. Still and sparkling water was provided along with teas and coffee,in fact there was nothing lacking; a blanket for extra warmth at night, a good mirror and a hanging wardrobe with drawers. The house is in a quiet area of Clapham, just off the Common,which teams with life at weekends with joggers, dog walkers ,children playing and organised sports. Around the edge are lots of coffee shops, restaurants and small exclusive retail shops(possibly the best butcher's in London). A five minute walk to the tube and lots of lovely architecture to look at on the way, it is well situated for getting around.
Emiko is presently in Korea and I hope we shall meet up when next I visit as I liked her ceramics very much. Rob is a very relaxed kind of chap and one immediately warms to him and the conversation was easy and most enjoyable on all manner of topics, we discovered he was an alumnus of my husband's old school!
