What a lovely place Melanie has! Comfortable, quiet, close to the Tube and other trains. This house felt like almost too much space for the two of us (after small flats in France and Amsterdam), but we really enjoyed uncurling and settling into the bigger space, and it was quite enjoyable.
The house itself is set away from the main house and has its own entrance and amenities, including kitchen (with everything), bathroom (with everything), loft with bed, living area with TV and extra sofa bed. It was wonderful. Extras: laundry, and snacks and staples in the fridge. Was so welcome and wonderful.
We walked to the tube every day ~10 minutes. Took 10-15 minutes from the Clapham South tube to get into the center of the city. If that. Not bad at all. And the surrounding neighborhood has tons of restaurants, people out and about running and playing in the nearby Clapham Common.
Great way to get both the big London experience, and then also small, authentic English neighborhood feel. Melanie and her husband are wonderful, gracious hosts!
Loved our stay! Highly recommend!
