Wow...where to start?!?
This is truly an exceptional place to stay.
Check in: Super easy, we were greeted and given a tour and felt welcome.
The Space: This is definitely a family home. Amazing kitchen, two great gathering spaces, lots of games and books. The rooms are all beautifully thought out and decorated. There is some outdoor space to sit and read, or dine as well. There is Sonos for music throughout the house and we watched movies on the huge screen in the family room.
The master bedroom was super comfortable with a spacious master bath and ample closet space. The other two bedrooms have twin beds, so keep that in mind with your planning. I could go on and on about the Harry Potter room, but you can see the pictures for yourself.
The only caution I would say is that this is a tall, narrow house, with each floor given it's own purpose. To go from the kitchen to the kid's rooms, there are four flights of stairs. This is pretty obvious from the pictures, so if you choose to stay here, don't complain. If you have issues with mobility, this is not the space for you.
Location: I can't say enough for the location. It would have to be pretty special to out-do the house itself, and it succeeds. Two blocks to the Underground, 5-10 minute walk to everything Covent Garden has to offer. Westminster 10-15 minute walk. Amazing restaurants, shopping, theaters all super close. I really couldn't think of a better place to have as a base to explore London.
We'll be back!
