Elisabeth and Bob are great company and they are a fantastic host. They really make you feel welcome with their warm hospitality and treat you like a family and friend. They serve delicious breakfast and they sincerely desire to make your stay in London a memorable one. The apartment and the room are clean and it has a beautiful place to watch the ferries pass by in the Thames river. What a relaxing and beautiful sight. I will not forget this wonderful stay with Elisabeth and Bob in my life journey in the city of London.
As for transportation, the bus 170 stops right in front of the apartment Valiant House, Viscarage Crescent (bus stop - High Street Battersea). Look out for the signboard Valiant House. The apartment is well secured with three entry security (gate, apartment block access and unit entry). Food and drinks are readily available in restaurants nearby. You can hop on to other buses (near Battersea Bridge) - 5 mins from Valiant House to connect easily to other parts of London directly. If you hop within 1 hour to connect another bus, there is no extra charges. Bus fare is normally GBP1.50.
If you come from Heathrow Airport, just hop on to the Piccadilly line and stop at Victoria Station. Exit Victoria Station and hop on bus 170 to Valiant House. The bus stop (bus stop G) is located opposite Aster House, Victoria Street (near HSBC Bank Victoria Station). The buses in London has special places for your luggages. It takes 15 mins from Victoria station to reach Valiant House. Buses come frequently about 8 mins interval.
It is advisable to buy your Oyster card in the Tube station in Heathrow Airport in the Tourist Information Centre (GBP5.00 deposit refundable) and you can hop on to buses, tubes and rails.
The Oyster card caps your daily total fare at GBP7.00 no matter how far or long you have travelled daily. If your daily total fare is below GBP7.00, only the actual daily total fare will be incurred.
I will definitely return to this apartment and recommend my friends to stay in this apartment. Elisabeth and Bob are truly Super Hosts.
