Suzana's place is absolutely gorgeous. Impeccably decorated, peacefully quiet and very well located. It is just a short walk from Richmond, one of the best areas to live in London. Walk across Richmond Bridge at sunset and you will understand why. Have a pint at “Pitcher and Piano” while contemplating the views of the river Thames. Downstairs you will notice the workshops of the boat artisans that work endless hours sanding and repainting vintage boats which, by the way, you can rent as well if you like.
Now the room. It is everything you see in the pictures. Neutral colours, very relaxing. En-suite, meaning you get your own private toilet, a rain-shower, and lots and lots of toiletries in the cabinet at your disposal. Forgot your toothbrush? No problem; Moisturizer? There you go; Shaving cream? Voila! I recommend you to try the "ginger morning shower gel", it's just fabulous!
There is a balcony on one side of the room to contemplate the backyard and a ceiling window to contemplate the stars above your bed (or the rain, after all this is London). There are delicious cookies, water, tea and coffee available for you along with more cookies chocolates, cream and more chocolates... I did not manage to eat everything, and trust me, I tried.
At this point I should mention The Bed. Oh the bed, it's glorious! Perfect to rest your body after a long day in the centre of London. Speaking of which.
I think you probably wouldn't want to move away from Richmond, but If you really need to go to the centre of London, there are plenty of options. I recommend to take the train from St Margaret's Station (10min from Suzana's place) that would take you all the way to Waterloo, right at the door of the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and of course, South Bank. There are other options, District Line from Richmond Station and London Overground. But personally I think the train is both the fastest and the best experience.
I don’t need to tell you, I had a great time here. And yes, this is London so there is plenty of choices, but for me, the next time I visit I would definitely book this room again. That is of course, assuming it would be available ;)
