Sophie's House is a wonderful place for a family if you're looking for space, privacy, comfort and proximity to the city without being right in the centre. Our two young children and their friends thoroughly enjoyed the copious toys, choice of bedrooms and backyard with fruit trees, swings and a large trampoline. The high street is only a short walk (2-300m) where you'll find a grocery store, many restaurants, a few pubs and hairdressers. The Overground "Kensal Rise" is also there, a 5min walk from the house. We found it easiest to take OG to West Hampstead and change to the Jubilee Line (tube) rather than walk to Queen's Park underground which is about 10mins. We needed a cot for our two year old and Sophie arranged this for us. Communication with the host was fabulous before and during our stay. We enjoyed summer BBQs and Queen's Park is only a few minutes walk away. Two small points of note - the staircase(s) is a little creaky (probably typical of houses of this tenor and important only if you have small sleeping children) and we found the wifi worked intermittently (and never in the kitchen/dining/outside). Sincerely recommend Sophie's House to all.
