I, my wife and teenage son stayed in Mikko's apartment for 8 nights in May 2014 after Paris. The communication pack sent to us before the trip was very comprehensive about the property and the locality. We made our way to the house by taxi from Heathrow airport because of several heavy pieces of luggage after shopping in Paris. Though Lorraine was away on a business trip, her neighbour met us on arrival to pass the house keys and showed us the house. We were in contact with Lorraine online throughout our stay.
It is a beautiful victorian house, plenty of space for 3 adults, and neatly kept with sufficient storage space in the cupboards & check of drawers to put our clothes. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked with all essentials. WIFI reception was good. There was a garden too! The bedding was comfortable. The heater gave us much needed warmth on cold nights.
Location-wise was superb. It was minutes away to/from Kingston rail station (thus easy to get to central London or neighbouring places) and Kingston town where there are so much to see and enjoy. There's a halal butcher at the street corner, halal food less than half a minute further down, and a masjid on the other end - so perfect location for Muslim.
We liked the house so much that we felt "at home". It brought fond memories of the time we lived in Twickenham more than 20 years ago. I sincerely recommend this house to any one looking for the most convenient place to explore London without the crowd of the city, and live like a local.
All in all, we liked it so much and would stay there again if permitted to.
