Not only was it the convenient location of the flat near a Piccadilly line tube station, or the lovely bedroom, or the stunning "straight-out-of-a-cooking-show" kitchen, that made our stay a true delight. But, rather, it was the sheer graciousness, kindness and unconditional openhandedness that is so very hard to find these days - that made our stay one to remember.

My girlfriend and I stayed for a week at this listing and preferred to stay within easy access to the city (6 minute walk to the nearest tube station) yet far away from urban commotion to get that safe feeling of staying at the suburbs. This was exactly that. The house is a spitting distance away from a complete grocery market that supplied everything we ever needed and a sneeze away from the luscious Walpole Park - if you ever want to snatch a quick breakfast picnic under the trees or an early-riser jog ahead of a day of sightseeing.

Seamus & Paul, both as worldly as can find, took every measure (and beyond) to ensure that our stay was as pleasant and satisfying as possible.

Although the living room and kitchen are shared with the hosts, we were always ensured of our privacy and freedom to do as we please. But trust us, within a couple of days with the two, you'd be missing them when they're gone and be looking for their company.

Again, we feel that it is within our utmost responsibility to convey our absolute gratitude to Seamus & Paul, our unbelievably attentive hosts, that transformed our stay by making us feel not like paid guests... but as family of their own.

We wholeheartedly recommend this listing to anyone that is searching for a quiet, safe and home-like stay and, along the way, enjoy first-class individual hospitality.
