This is my 2nd stay with Veeda and her wonderful family. You really couldn’t ask for nicer hosts.
My first stay in the single room at the top of the house. Second floor. Which consists of 4 small flights of stairs, with a small landing between each flight. Mentioned only because others have mentioned stairs. Yes there are stairs. And as Veeda mentions, the room is at the top of the house, 2nd floor.
But these are older beautifully designed homes with lots of smaller rooms. I grew up in London, in a home quite similar to Veeda’s. Each flight, is around ‘8 small stairs.’ A landing at each end.
If you were bringing huge heavy suitcases, then you might find these tiring. Narrow. But it isn’t in anyway difficult. These are older homes with tons of character.
If you are well travelled, I’m sure you’ve come across similar architecture before. Just look at pictures of homes in Uk.
The location is extremely nice. Lots of interest, shopping, restaurants, gardens. Easy to get around. Buses along Kings Rd., and as I discovered, bus to/from Victoria station a block down from Veeda’s. Just have to watch the time schedule.
Walk to Sloane Square station, from the house, about 12 mins or so. Depends on amount of luggage and of course, your pace. Nice walk.
Personally, and I am Londoner! I truly love the neighbourhood. Older homes, architecture, little parks…part of London most people never discover. Also close, as Veeda pointed out, to Battersea Bridge. Just up the road.
And for those wishing to spend £££ you can pop-around the corner to one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurants.
Would have been nice to have coffee on the little terrace, few steps down from your bedroom, which looks terribly sweet. Next time!
Thank you Veeda & family. Lovely to see you again. Keep well. Xx
