I must say we wish we had never been there....BECAUSE NOW WE WANT TO COME BACK SO BAD ♥ //
Our stay was PERFECT on every aspects.
► The Hosts :
Mauro & Zena are a lovely italian couple, very welcoming, caring, easy-going, always ready to help and tell you where to go to enjoy your time around London. We spent some joyful time together, inside and outside the apartment, eating and chating about everything. We also spent plenty of time cuddling with Tora (the cat) and playing with her. She's the softest cat on Earth, unbelievable. Don't worry, she won't wake you up in the morning with neverending Meows, she knows how to behave.
They welcomed us the first night with an impromptu dinner as it was already late after our trip by plane. The room was ready and neat, with some little attentions. They show us everything we needed to know from shower to breakfast, locks, private fridge, etc.//
► The bedroom :
Cosy and beautiful, not too hot neither cold, with a roof-window giving much light (+ a shutter if you don't want sunlight in the morning). Bed is comfy and wide, sheets are fresh and clean, and you have two electric plugs at the head of the bed. There is also some furniture to put your clothes out of your luggages.
To go to this room you'll have to use a little wooden ladder/stairs. It wasn't a problem at all for us, but I wouldn't recommend it for older people maybe (or drunk people haha), or people that might not be at ease with climbing in attics.
But after a day, you'll just find your way to go up and down quickly without any problem.
We felt at peace up there. It's very quiet and once the door is shut, you don't hear ANY sound from downstairs, or even neighbours. Just silence ♥//
► The rest of the apartment :
Very well decorated and clean, brightly lit bathroom with a flawless shower cabin, cute living-room with wooden benches and table (+ funny cushions).
- The kitchen has everything you need (except maybe for microwave addicts, but there's an oven and a gas cooker, come on), and you'll have your own fridge+freezer.
Breakfast was perfect and diverse, with sliced bread, many jams, chocolate spread, tea, coffee (and a simple coffee machine that cleans itself like a grown-up), cereals, milk. They even bought us plant-based milk on our demand ♥.//
► The neighbourhood :
Very SAFE and quiet, and the District Line is just few minutes away by feet. You'll be in Zone 3 but just at the edge of Zone 2, so you'd not be really far from everything (20min+ to Victoria station).
There are good restaurants, many grocery stores (even a 24/7 one) , a Nero Café, a pharmacy, ATMs, parks, a library, a big shopping center...//
We wish we would live here all year long.
And we can't wait to have time to come back!
So go ahead and book your stay before it's too late ;)
