Wonderful place to stay! We knew this was a bit far from downtown London but chose it because of the fantastic reviews and price. I am so glad that we did! The home is darling--with a shabby chic / vintage feel, beautiful white washed hardwoods, etc. What really made our stay was the outstanding location. Literally, a 1-2 minute walk to the Forrest Hills station making life TONS easier if you are depending on public transport and bus stops all around--perfect with the week long transport pass so we could get around with ease. Plus super inexpensive grocery store around the corner (Sainsbury), great pizza, shops, and restaurants galore all within a few minute walk and a convenience store for a late night treats a few steps away. Our children loved using the nice pool at the rec center up the street (4 minute walk) for a small fee when we needed a break from site seeing. We had 2 adults and 3 children (5-11 yrs) in our family and it suited us very well. The only drawback was the noisy road out front at night which was not a problem when windows were shut but happened to be there during a very hot week and would prob not be a problem at all for those used to city noise. Host was incredibly responsive and kind. If you're looking for a good home base to relax after a busy day of site seeing, this is it.
