Paula's flat was perfect for family holiday to London. It's located in Barnes' town center and is central to local grocery markets and small eateries in Barnes. Not knowing much about this area before we came, I was quite surprised to find this gem of a town in London. On the top level, there is a master bedroom with three large skylit windows. At night, we would open them and listen to the quiet and Barnes and surrounding area. Her flat was impeccably furnished, had a great kitchen, an outdoor patio to enjoy the summer weather, and four bedrooms to accommodate my 4 children, wife, and mother in law. Everyone was very comfortable. We spent our evenings watching Harry Potter and then dashed across the street to the local Barnes church (and graveyard - but no signs of Voldemort) to practice our magic with wands ready. The girls found it quite magical. I enjoyed the Italian and Thai restaurants literally down stairs, and every morning we walked about 300 yards to an amazing bakery. We also took in the Barnes Green park area and threw frisbee and played with the local birds and dogs. Everyone was very friendly in the area. Beyond Barnes, we took the local bus from Barnes Red Lion (100 yards approximately) to Hammersmith Station and then easily accessed the city on the Piccadilly line. It made for an excellent holiday and a most beautiful spot.
