James was waiting for us on arrival and gave a good run down of the important things in the apartment as well as making some transport and restaurant recommendations. He had also left tourist and transport brochures for us.
My kids (and husband) loved the mezzanine/nook and enjoyed looking at the comics.
We especially liked James' design style and there was a lot of attention to detail in the apartment with the space used very well, the finishes very high quality and very clean, for a small apartment there was still space for our belongings.
The bed in the main bedroom was a little small for my husband and the next night he slept in the mezzanine and we both slept much better.
The only street noise we noticed was a fire engine going past one night (to be expected staying in a city) but otherwise no noise was noticeable.
James also allowed us to leave our luggage a couple of extra hours until we were picked up which was also really appreciated.
The Queenswood pub just across the road was fabulous, we had dinner and breakfast there twice, good coffee too, consider booking if you want to guarantee a table. We also ate at the Woodman which was a 400m down the road on Battersea high street, another great eatery with wood fired pizza as well as a more refined menu.
It took us around 40mins to get from the apartment to our seats in Twickenham which I thought was excellent. The public transport takes a little longer to get to central London but as you aren't physically very far the taxi fare was very reasonable. I also imagine it would be a great spot to bike from as well. Lovely walk along the river which is only 2 minutes from the house.
