We rented this apartment to visit Wimbledon, and the location of the apartment is really perfect. To begin with, it's only about a 10 minute walk to the entrance of the Wimbledon Tennis along the main road that all the fans use -- so you really feel like you're in the right place. Even better, it's only about a 2 minute walk to the village of Southfields where there are not only a number a restaurants and food stores, but also a tube station. (It’s the one that Wimbledon visitors use, since the actual Wimbledon station is farther away: the tennis club is between the two stations.)
Best of all, it’s only about 20-30 minutes (depending where you’re going) to downtown London. So, although we rented the apartment to see the tennis, it was extremely convenient for visiting London as well.
In addition, there is free parking in the building lots, so we were able to rent a car and see a lot of the countryside as well. (You need to put a visitor’s pass in your car; the pass is in the apartment.)
As far as the apartment itself, it’s in a nice development complex with a number of small apartment buildings. It’s on the first floor, so no steps or elevators; you walk right outside onto a pathway that runs along the front of the building, and then off to wherever you’re going.
It is nicely furnished. The beds were comfortable; and the sheets and towels looked like they had been professionally cleaned and ironed.
Though we didn’t use it, there is a nice small kitchen that you could certainly make meals.
I would highly recommend this apartment for Wimbledon visitors. But it is also a very good choice for visiting London, or the English countryside.
