We struck gold with our very first airbnb rental!
The flat was a quick 20 minute ride from Heathrow by car service. Alternatley, one could take the Underground from the airport to Hammersmith Station. The flat is a 7-10 minute walk from the station down an idyllic street worthy of a travel photo brochure. Ruby's had provided a very comprehensive sheet of instructions so we were inside in no time at all.
We opened the door and found a beautiful flat filled with natural light from all of the windows and sky lights. It was as depicted in the photos. Open the patio door and your view is of the Thames with large trees on the opposite bank of the river and not more buildings. The two bathrooms had live orchids which were a nice touch. You will need one of the two bathtubs after walking all over London! The kitched was well equiped for eating in. The washer/dryer helped us cut down on the amount of clothes that we had to pack. The availability of hot water was not an issue but do not take two showers simultaneously per Ruby's instructions. The bed was very comfortable!
The flat is a short walk from the busy Broadway Shopping Centre which houses the tube station (Picadilly and District lines to central London), numerous coffee shops, small restaurants with healthy eating options, a pharmacy and a small Tesco grocery store. A currency exchange office is also available. Pick up an Oyster card at the tube station and all parts of London wait you. You can shop, eat and travel from one convenient location. An added plus is the availability of two pubs are just mere steps from the flat.
Skip the hustle, the traffic and noise of downtown London. Relax in this lovely flat with an excellent host while enjoying the best that London has to offer.
