To start, they hosts were amazing and communicated every step of the way. They were amazing and on top of everything. All of the amenities we needed were there and ready for us. Perfect.
The area cannot be beaten. It is a perfect place to stay in London. The covent garden area is fun and safe, with a ton of little streets and shops to explore as well as some major brands if you want to do some luxury shopping. It was raining a lot the first couple of days and it was great that we could go to some great places nearby. You are a short walk to Chinatown, Soho, the river, theaters, everything.
The home is hard to describe because it's just so beautiful and unique, you almost just want to stay there instead of in the city. It's so relaxing and inspiring in an authentic way. It is split up on multiple levels and rooms so it is great for a larger family or multiple families. As I mentioned, it was so amazing I really wanted to spend as much time reading at home as exploring the city. It was a busy street, but we had no problems with noise at all.
Some things to consider:
The stairs are plenty and steep, so if you have anyone with a disability or smaller children, it could be a challenge. Our 5 year old son, did fine, but we were very explicit about being careful going up and down the stairs and he did fine.
The bathrooms are nice and well kept, but not modern. I only mention it to set the expectation, especially for those not used to European bathrooms. The entire home was not overly modern, but it was clean and had such a wonderful feeling of home to it and had a feeling of calm an inspiration for us.
I will absolutely look to stay here again next time I am in London if it is available. We loved it and the hosts were great!
