I loved that Fay understood that this was to be a special Christmas celebration with family coming from three different counties and two different continents. She went out of her way to help make it a special holiday by having a live Christmas tree and decorations ready to be put on. Besides this special accommodation, the flat is very well stocked: laundry, laundry soap, dishwasher, enough dishes and pots to cook and serve a Christmas meal, and a small kids play area stocked with toys and TV/DVD. Besides the ementiies the flat is really the quintessential English flat with a garden so it felt homey and inviting.

Beyond the flat, the neighborhood is excellent for families. Holland Park is less than a 10 minute walk. The park features a Japanese Garden with Peacocks (remember to take peanuts or bread), two parks (one for the younger set and another for the older kids), and the park has walking trails for adults. The flat is situated between two tube stations and a bus station. It also has two buses that stop down the street that are excellent choices for sightseeing. For groceries and shopping, Westfield Shopping Mall is a 15 minute stroll as is West 12 (which has a Wetherspoon's pub). Between the two, there is all the shopping one could want and more.
