I rented this flat for my mum coming over to stay in London from Australia, she loved the place so much she wanted to leave her own review;
This flat is a true and delightful balance of space overlooking a lively canal and creature comforts like Vintage Calvino's Invisible Cities. It is deliciously clean and tidy and that lovely scent is vanilla and musk, while the flowers are lilies. Picking out this best one of myriad treasures from the bookshelf, described as 'a subtle and beautiful meditation by The Sunday Times, your new world takes on a literary and philosophical reality that makes you feel you've come home and not only that, the world has become marvellous again. This adorable and well appointed flat is a perfect base for a new and appreciative traveller from which to entertain family with a little storm of cooking, hang out wishing you could live here, and in the morning after a soothing bath in an impeccable bathroom and deep sleep in a calming bedroom, open the door and turn right at the end of the lane for the atmospheric high street. La Bouche became your local coffee shop, the Cat and Mutton the English Pub, and your investment banker host has carefully detailed his own personal preferences for the butcher and fish shop, where to snaffle up food and wine bargains and inadvertently stumble upon two wonderful boutique bookshops crammed with images and brilliant words which completely solve all the worlds problems whether or not you want to read one.
It was snowing outside and as warm as toast inside. With banging British movies like The Bank Job and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to add culture to every minute of your downtime there is a small supply of snacks in the fridge left for you to use at a pinch. This is an absolutely safe and salubrious neighbourhood in which to wander about, admire the jacketed up Staffies looking out for their homeless owners and start plunging into greater London itself using the excellent transport available.
