Gabrielle's place was perfect for my family reunion (5 of us) over New Years. It is home-y and personal. The kitchen has everything we needed for cooking festive meals. In terms of location, there are few groceries stores within a short walking distance (less than 8 mins). It is a residential neighborhood so there aren't tons of restaurants or cafes. This wasn't a problem for us, that's also because commuting to the city was pretty straight forward via the Tube as well (perks - even ordering uber XL was easy.. was expecting to wait for a good 15/20 mins+). Even though I haven't met Gabrielle in person, he was easy to work with and very warm.
Two tips 1) the switch for the heater is rather hidden. Just remember to ask about it. Gabrielle and his property manager were able to resolve it quickly. 2) the kitchen appliances are very hi-tech. Having lived in multiple major cities in US and Asia, I have not encountered these .. I literally need to watch YouTube videos on how to operate them, which actually was quite fun.
