Jasmine Cottage is a perfect base for exploring London. Nicola and Jason were great to deal with; we dealt with Nicola by email and phone and met Jason on the day we moved out. In between we had only one minor query which was answered quickly and efficiently. We were especially grateful for the offer of our choice of basic provisions being placed in the property before we arrived. Also the games and books were a great diversion for our two kids aged eight and five. In terms of location the tube is handy and there are loads of shops and cafes very nearby. In spite of this we'd also highlight the quietness of the location; you are tucked away from the business of London but can join it simply by heading up a couple of streets. We'd back up the host's warning about the spiral staircase. No problem for us but it is very narrow and I'd recommend discussing with the host before booking if you have any doubts about mobility. All in all a fantastic place to stay; it does cost a little more but the location and extras make it still value for money.
