Having seen pictures of Sandra's beautiful home and after reading the wonderful reviews from earlier occupants, our family of four came to stay at this house with very high expectations. But nothing could have prepared us for the amazing experience that was in store for us to enjoy over the next five days!

The house itself is lovely and has been done up most tastefully. It has ample spaces and is equipped with all the amenities one could need - and more. Sandra had been kind enough to give our boys access to her kids' books and playthings. This, along with a trampoline in the garden, a fun kids' bed and a garden they could play in and pluck berries from, has led our kids to declare Sandra's home "the best place they have stayed in away from home"! The little personal touches that were evident at every step of our stay here are what make this a beautiful 'home' rather than just a house and we felt truly privileged to have got the opportunity to stay there.

The neighbourhood is very peaceful and serene and has all necessary amenities within easy reach. Brockley Overground Station is a quick 5 minutes walk away, which made our commute very convenient.

And finally, this review wouldn't be complete without a word about Sandra herself, who we found to be the perfect host! She was prompt in responding to all the queries we had and gave us a lot of information before we got to London - from travel options, cab bookings, detailed directions and even how to avoid London's rush-hour! Sandra had very thoughtfully made provisions for dinner on the evening of our arrival, which made it easy for us to immediately settle in. Even though Sandra was travelling, her friend Hatty who showed us around the house, made us feel very welcome and also ensured that while leaving, we had a quick and easy handover.

Thank you Sandra for sharing your beautiful home with us and for being such a lovely host. We have brought back wonderful memories of our stay at your home and would most definitely love to be back the next time we are in London.
