We can only recommend Marcus’s gorgeous York House.
We stayed in this gem of a flat for a week and it was perfect for our family. We have a two year old and we especially appreciated the outdoor space and having convient and quality items provided for us so we could pack lightly (baby cot, high chair, and potty). We unfortunately forgot our bathtub mat and there wasn’t one provided but we just made sure to be extra careful and had no issues.
All the furnishings within the flat are clean, functional and comfortable, and everything is expertly decorated which makes the stay that much more special. There is some space to put away your clothing, but we tend to live out of our suitcases to save time, so we didn’t even use it. The kitchen is also well equipped if you want to cook meals at the flat to save money (which we did). The barbecue is also a nice addition for good weather!
The flat is conveniently located in West London with tons of amazing restaurant (Ochi Caribbean take away was wonderful) and grocery delivery options nearby (great for parents who are confined to eating at home during evenings), an enormous Westfield, and a very nice playground about ten minutes walk away for children of all ages. At night it is relatively calm (never heard anything after a reasonable hour). It is also a short walk from the tube and several bus lines so it was a breeze to travel into central London to explore with a stroller.
We also enjoyed giving our toddler small tasks to do like feeding the fish and helping us water the patio garden. He especially liked the sand box, counting the fish, and playing with some of the toys that were available in the flat. He also became more independent with stairs (there are three small steps to go from the eating area to the sleeping areas, so he was VERY proud of himself.
Marcus is a wonderful host and he takes a lot of care into offering a lovely stay. We will hopefully be welcomed back for our next stay in London.
