We had a lovely few days staying in Louise's delightful house in southwest London. All the rooms are a good size and stylishly decorated: we particularly liked the kitchen/family room where we spent most of our time. The house was cozy when the weather was really cold. Two of the bedrooms are perfect for adults and the other two are more suitable for younger children. The location is great for us as it is close to where my sister lives, but it is also convenient for trains/tube into town, just note that if you have a car, you do need a parking permit so watch out for that. The shops, pubs, and restaurants in Balham and on Bellevue Rd are very easy to walk to and cover much more than just the basics. We had a couple of excellent dinners out - Chez Bruce, in particular, is amazing. Louise was a terrific host and we really appreciated her fast response to all our questions. We will definitely be back!
