Hard to think of a better experience with a single caveat. Let's get that out of the way first. Stairs. Three flights. This is very common in UK and we booked knowing full well there would be a climb to the flat. So, if you are over 70 like us just make sure you are comfortable with that.
There is so much to love about Lene's property. Clean, spacious, good beds and a short walk to restaurants, Kingston market square, shopping mall, grocery stores, convenience stores and the river! The river walk is wonderful with rowers, narrow boats, a tour boat and restaurants. Swans are beautiful.
We did a mix of eating out and shopping at the market square for fresh fruits and veggies. The bacon and pork products here are wonderful.
Sorry - I'm gushing a bit. We lucked out with the weather in late March but no guarantees there of course.
We stayed two weeks and explored all over London using the amazing transit system. Get an Oyster Pass, it's a great system.
Almost all retail transactions are card based - even the small market shops. That or Apple/Google Pay.
Anyway - don't hesitate to pull the trigger if the cost and climb are in your wheelhouse. You won't regret it.
