If you're reading this review our suggestion would be to stop reading it and just go and book the Lime tree apartments right now because later could be too late and you would definitely regret it.
We stayed at Richard's house for 4 days with two kids (8 and 10 yr) in the middle of February.
Even though the apartment is located in the 3rd zone it's for the best. After a long and tiring day it's good to come to a calm and peaceful borough and have a rest. And if you feel like having a pint of beer or thinking to have a nice dinner outside you are lucky because there are quite a few different cuisine restaurants and a few pubs. It's a good location for commuting to the very central part of London as well. Northfields tube stop on Piccadilly line is just nearby - up to a 10 min walk. For example it takes about 20 min to get to favorite museums at South Kensington stop.
The house is in authentic style and spirit but inside you have all the necessary amenities you might need these days even for a longer stay. Everything in the house is just like Richard had described and we could feel that Richard is taking good care of everything. The beds are really comfortable and this is a very important detail if you need a good rest after a long day of walking. The kitchen is spacious and clean with all the appliances working properly. It was a pleasure to cook breakfast and late supper in this kitchen. The bathroom is also very comfortable, shiny and clean.
We would definitely recommend these Lime tree apartments whether you are travelling with a family or on a business trip in London.
P.S. We would have loved to have a morning coffee outside in a lovely yard but since it was February it was a bit chilly outside to do so.
