This house is even more impressive than it looks in the pictures. Jon has maintained, or re-instated, many of its Victorian features, whilst providing modern lighting, heating, and plumbing. It has style. The garden which is remarkably large and secluded, especially for this area of London.

The house is on a quiet street, yet only a few hundred metres from supermarkets, pubs, and station. The building is very solid, so each room feels private, which is important it's full of people. Despite being in a city it is quiet and secure, with little of noise filtering in from outside.

Jon had clearly put extra effort into making us feel welcome. We had exchanged several messages beforehand, and he was concerned that we should enjoy our stay. When we arrived there were fresh flowers on the table, fresh bread in the kitchen, and a radio playing softly when walked through the front door.
