I had a wonderful stay in Tom's 2 bedroom Battersea flat recently when I was in London for a week with my two sons. I had never stayed in Battersea before and was not sure if the public transport connections would work for us but it turned out to be a breeze. Clapham Junction is just a short walk away, with plenty of trains connecting to the Underground in central London, plus there was good bus service right outside the door. It turned out to be a great base for us.

Because it was just me and the two kids, we spent most of our days out and about, exploring London and playing in the parks, and then staying in at night. The wonderful battersea Park is just a short walk along the river and, closer to home, there's a small park across the street from the flat with a good playground. Perfect for two energetic boys! Most of our evenings were spent in the home, cooking dinner and watching TV, so we really appreciated the care that Tom has taken to outfit the kitchen with cooking utensils. We were also very grateful for the fast internet and Sky TV.

The flat itself is modern, very nicely decorated and good sized. The building has a friendly concierge who handed us the keys upon arrival and even called taxis for us whenever we needed them. I never met Tom in person but he was extremely good about emailing and making sure everything was well. Renting from Tom was a great experience and I would happily recommend his flat to anyone.
