This flat is as good as advertised. On a sunny day the light comes into main room and gives it enormous cheer. The neighborhood has plenty of trees and gardens. The local shopping areas provide plenty of services if you need to buy breakfast or want places for a leisurely dinner. We stopped in local grocery outlets every other day and bought milk, fresh bread, and fresh fruit, and made breakfast at home. Also liked the local gelato on the way home late at night.

An Underground stop lies a five minute walk away, and a couple others on different lines are less than ten minute walk. For a suburban London experience this as convenient as it gets. My (college age) children and I always felt safe, even when coming back after a West End play at 11.

Of course, on a cold rainy day you need an umbrella, and you need to watch out for the puddles, and then the walk seems a bit longer. But, hey, much the same could be said about all of London.

The flat is very comfortable for visiting by a group of two or three. It is possible to fit four in there, but it would feel cramped (especially sharing one shower and bathroom). If you plan to be out most of the day, and everyone is on the same schedule, then it works just fine.

Finally, this must be said about Maureen and Ken. They are very enthusiastic hosts. I have rented plenty of vacation homes from many faceless management companies who do not return phone calls. Maureen and Ken respond to all the texts right away, and volunteer to plan your whole trip for you if you want the advice. Really could not ask for better.

Highly recommended.
