Helena was very responsive to our questions during booking and she could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The room was as advertised but smaller than we expected. The living room and patio were lovely spaces and we enjoyed visiting with her cat Mr. Oreo. It was a short walk to lovely Battersea Park and just a bit farther to Kings Road restaurants and shops. It was a fairly easy trip from Gatwick airport via train and local buses. Helena and her Battersea home were a nice start to our trip.
