Graham and Richard have a wonderful home in an excellent area. We could not have picked a better base for our first visit to London.
Prior to the trip, Graham provided great tips for traveling to the house, as well as ideas for things to do in London. He and Richard were so friendly and welcoming. Not having visited London previously, we weren't sure how easy it was going to be to get from the airport (Gatwick) to the house. As it turns out, very easy! There's a train line that goes direct from the airport to the West Hampstead station, which is only a 5-10 minute walk from the house.
Can't say enough about the location. The proximity to the tube and overground stations is amazing. West Hampstead is also a super convenient station stop, quite central to everywhere we wanted to go. It was no problem at all for us to roll our luggage from the station to the house. During our stay, it was so nice to know we were only a few minutes from home after arriving at the station. Besides the trains, there are also plenty of buses that go through the area. (Abbey Road Studios is less than 10 minutes away via a bus ride.)
The house itself is quite amazing. The guest room is downstairs from the entry way, with the owner's rooms upstairs from the entry. Sometimes when staying at an Airbnb, I worry I might disturb someone if I'm sharing a wall -- but that's not an issue here. Even though the house is just a few hundred feet from a street with shops and restaurants, we never noticed a bit of noise.
Graham and Richard are a fountain of knowledge about the area. They'll make you feel very welcome and do their best to make your stay a great one. Can't recommend their place highly enough.
