My mother and I stayed at Fiona & Paul's for a whole month, and the whole time we were there we felt perfectly at home. Paul & Fiona were very friendly and more than pleased to answer any of our queries. They even suggested some local events we could attend based on their knowledge of the things we liked to do, which we attended and enjoyed very much!
The place is easy to find with many pubs that serve delicious food, beer, and wonderful Sunday Roasts which are great value for money. The house is also conveniently located midway between two different tube stations (Ravenscourt Park & Goldhawk Road), so travelling to different areas of London was fairly convenient. A supermarket was also an easy 15 minute walk away, and a convenience store was literally across the street. Crisps became a staple snack due to this! A refreshing 20 minute walk also brought us to a large shopping mall (Westfield Mall) which satisfied all our retail sprees.
The neighbourhood (Hammersmith) also had a wide range of pubs and restaurants catering to different cuisines, a yoga studio, and a church which held regular services on Sundays, amongst other things. We recommend The Salutation pub for a good beer and large meal.
The house is beautifully decorated and has a spacious living room, and breakfast ranges from a simple slice of toast to a feast of cereals, jams, and porridge (as per your preference). Paul & Fiona make the most delicious home-baked bread, so do be sure to try it when you're there! We even procured the recipe from them and bought our own bread making machine once we returned to Singapore.
The room we stayed in was cosy and beautifully decorated, which made us feel more at home than the stark way a hotel room would be furnished. They were also a comfortable size and so we never felt "boxed in". As the bedrooms were carpeted we were never in too much danger of freezing from the cold, and the bed came with a mattress heater which we were very thankful to have. As both Fiona & Paul had a rather busy schedule we did have quite a bit of privacy throughout the day.
I would highly recommend this listing. The hosts are wonderful people with a beautiful family, and you will feel right at home whether it's your first trip to London, or your fiftieth. A great house for a book lover or someone hoping to stay in a quieter and more relaxed part of London. My only regret is that I hadn't eaten more bread!
