We were having a family get together in London to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday (8 of us). We looked at hotels but we realised that it was going to prove expensive over 2 nights and also that socialising in a hotel lobby wouldn't be relaxing.
We looked at Airbnb for inspiration and found Deb's and Stef's place in Putney.
First off the photos describe it entirely. A converted townhouse with 5 double rooms. Tastefully and eclectically decorated. You won't be disappointed, we were blown away at how beautiful it was.
The kitchen area is where we spent most time- simply wow- a perfect spot to socialise and celebrate. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook, drink and chat. The wine fridge came in particularly handy along with the Alexa speaker to play music.
Debs and Stef are the perfect hosts. They wanted to be sure that we were settled in so popped by to say hello. They were not intrusive in any way, a lovely couple and we wish they could have stayed with us for longer! They even gave my mum a bottle of champagne for her birthday which was a wonderful surprise. Thank you. Deb and Stef were on hand to answer any questions and were able to recommend nearby restaurants for lunch. They had thought of everything to make sure we had a great stay.
The place was very clean and towels and basics for the kitchen supplied. Otherwise there is a small Tesco and large Waitrose closeby.
Train station is about 10mins walk and a train to central london takes 20mins. There's also a tube over the bridge and an Uber boat close by.
It's residents parking only in nearby streets but Deb's sorted a parking ticket for us. River front is a 1 min walk away.
This is highly recommended if you are a large group or family, giving you freedom to relax and explore without the formality of a hotel setting.
Can’t wait to book again!
