We stayed at the house of Eugénie, Cyrille and their kids for 5 nights and very much enjoyed our first AirBnB experience. They were lovely and helpful hosts. We felt very welcome, had some good conversations and everything was easy and straightforward. The room is beautiful with a comfortable bed and a nice shower bath! Our three kids (age 7 – 13) stayed in the small attic room and were pleased to have their own space there. The tube station is very near and we were amazed how quick (< 30 min) we got to central London (Victoria, Soho or City/Tower). Balham itself offers all shopping options to start into a tourist day and has some nice restaurants. Thanks to Eugénie and Cyrille! We will definitely come back when we’re in London again!
