We absolutely loved our stay at Colleen’s place and only wish we could have stayed longer ( stayed a week). Colleen answered my many questions involving transport, shopping etc promptly and thoughtfully which was most appreciated. The weather was superb and the sunset views were stunning. It’s central to Richmond, which has plenty of eating out options and also plenty of places to buy something delicious and to have at home. It’s so nice to have the eat at home option when you’re away for an extended period. And this really did feel like home. The walks along the Thames, through Richmond Park and elsewhere are just gorgeous, or you can be in the city in 20-45 minutes depending on your destination. It’s about a ten minute walk to the station via shops or pretty backstreets. We enjoyed staying a bit out of the city for the more neighbourhood vibe and it’s a very nice neighbourhood. The flat is cozy and very comfortable, with everything you need, including a good sized bathroom and the most beautiful view. Even the view of the tree tops from bed is lovely. Wifi and tv good. If your luggage is big/heavy, you need to be reasonably strong to tackle the 3 flights of stairs, particularly the last one. We really enjoyed Chez Lindsay, just a couple of doors up, very hospitable service and good food. There’s a fantastic fish shop at Twickenham (Sandy’s) for take home goodies. We felt there was a lot more to be discovered. We would definitely stay again next time we’re in London.
