We wanted to get out of London for the second half of our work-vacation (bleisure) trip so we chose Kingston. The apt is near lots of shopping, a big train station and also along the historic Thames so this location was convenient and fun. The sliding-door patio-office as pictured was a smart design so one of us could work and take video calls while the other worked in the living/dining room. Super fast WiFi was included and essential to work remotely and we always look for Airbnbs with fast and reliable internet. The apt has excellent lighting with multiple sets of ceiling lights in every room. The large bed was comfortable (pedestal fan included) with plenty of closet space, however the apartment is facing a busy road intersection. Constant traffic noise is an issue if the windows are open, so fortunately during this colder time of year we could close the modern windows to block most of it. We had an issue with the hot water at first which we figured out with the help of the UnderTheDoormat team via text and Airbnb messaging. The kitchen has everything you need to cook or bake with a large refrigerator and (very important) dishwasher to clean up. We used the washing machine and drying rack on the patio which was a big help. We liked the fact that you can walk down the Old London Road to go out for lunch or a shopping in central Kingston. During our stay we took the convenient bus (Oyster Card accepted) to visit Hampton Court (you can even walk), the town of Teddington, and Kew Gardens. Overall we had a productive and comfortable stay.
