We have just returned to Toronto after staying at Debbie's absolutely charming home for 2 weeks. The house was just as described and is so warm and cozy. It is very well equipped and we settled in really quickly.
We loved the neighbourhood as well as it is a stone's throw from the River Thames and only a short walk to Kew Gardens. There are some terrific pubs and restaurants right on the Thames and dining by the river some evenings while watching the swans was quite enchanting!
We felt safe and secure at all times.
Getting in and out of Central London was easy. Although there are above ground trains that go into London, we chose to walk for 20 mins or so to the Chiswick Park tube station on the District line, which takes you directly to most of the major tourist attractions. Debbie made the process seamless by leaving us 'Oyster Cards', which are used to access public transit.
If you have a rental car we never found street parking to be an issue.
Although we didn't get a chance to meet Debbie in person she was very helpful and communicative by text when little questions came up.
Many thanks to Debbie for making our first Airbnb experience such a positive one!
