My brother and I stayed with Pyone and her family for a week in early March 2017. When we first arrived at the house, we were very warmly welcomed by Pyone, she then showed us our rooms and explained the hows and the whats. She answered all our questions, from where we could go grocery shopping to some of the sights worth seeing during our stay. She also left us her cell number for any emergencies or further questions and always had time for a quick chat when we came back from a long day in London. Pyone and her family are all very nice and open people and we always felt right at home. They also have a cute little dog which was super friendly and guarded the house very well! 😉 The apartment itself is located on the top floor of the the house and is accesible via the shared staircase. It consists of a bedroom with two seperate beds (approx. 90-100cm wide each), a living room with a sofa, a small dinner table with two chairs, a microwave and a TV with a satellite receiver. Last but not least, there's a bathroom with a shower cabinet. The rooms are spacious enough to fit two people comfortably, even for a longer period of time. Everything was very clean and we never had any issues with hygiene. There are plenty of plates, bowls, mugs, glasses and cutlery to use; the washing up is done in the bathroom sync, where you will find all necessary equipment. Pyone kindly left us a big loaf of bread that lasted the whole week, some bottled water, a 1l container of milk and some snacks, which all came in very handy for our stay. The surroundings of the house are very suburban, there is a playground right next to it and Richmond Park is very close. There are train tracks passing behind the house, but they were never an issue for us since the bedroom faces the other direction. It was actually a good way to tell when rush hour was over by the amount of people on the coaches! On our first day, we visited the British National Archives, which is about a half hour walk from the house - I really recommend visiting to anyone who hasn't been there before! Located in Richmond right between train stations Mortlake and North Sheen and near bus station Berwyn Road, there are many options to take you anywhere in London. The quickest way to get into the center is to take the Southwest Train Service from Mortlake, which will take you to Waterloo Station in less than half an hour. From there it's just a 10 minute walk to London Eye. All in all, we had a great time at Pyone's place and I would really recommend a stay to anyone interested in a nice, friendly family home a little outside of all the city hustle. I would definitely do this again! Vielen Dank für...
