We booked P’s flat rather last-minute, as the one we originally booked fell through (kudos to AirBnB support for their quick response in helping us rebook), and we are very grateful to have found it! Check in instructions were very clear and access was easy, even arriving very late at night. P was very responsive.
This is a lovely garden level flat, which had ample space for our family of four (2 kids ages 13 and 15, my husband and me). We had one of our boys in the 2nd bedroom and the other on the fold-out sofa (very comfortable) in the common space. We folded the sofa back up during the day, as there’s not a lot of room to spare in the main room when the bed is unfolded The second bedroom could easily sleep 2 kids or a couple, but our boys prefer to sleep in their own beds where possible. The flat was very clean, and is in a great location in Pimlico, where it is relatively quiet, close to plenty of amenities (coffee shops, nice eating options, grocery). The owner left us great suggestions for the best local eateries, we tried several of them. We felt it was reasonably priced for London. I can’t comment on the kitchen amenities as we ate out and only made tea and instant coffee in the flat, but it seemed reasonably stocked, and there is a dishwasher.
Being a garden flat, you are on the lower level (down from the pavement), and there is both external (via steps down from the pavement) and internal (through the building ) access. Windows are large, so it’s fairly bright for a garden flat, but for privacy and security we kept the shades lowered. There is some semi- private outdoor space outside the external door in the front, where you are below ground level but can still catch some sun and a bit of breeze. We put laundry out to dry there on the provided drying rack, there was enough of a breeze to dry it quickly. It looked like there is another garden level rental room across from the external door, so it is not 100% private. For bathrooms, there is one bathing room (tub with shower, sink, mirror) and a separate room with a toilet and sink, so while not quite 2 bathrooms, there are 2 sinks, it worked well for us, but that might be something to think about if occupied with more people.
The neighborhood is great, lots of nice options for meals, we went to some of the owner’s suggested places and really enjoyed them (favorites were Pimlico Fresh and Gail’s). We did not get any takeaway food, but Sainsbury’s looked like it had great options. It’s an easy walk to Victoria or Pimlico stations to get anywhere on the tube, and plenty of buses run nearby
We really enjoyed the flat and the neighborhood, would recommend!
