This beautifully put together studio which has its own private patio area at the bottom of Sandra and Neil’s garden is delightful.
I say that after living there for 6 days.
Arriving late and slightly stressed due to storms, I stepped in to such a lovely atmosphere.
Flowers and fresh fruit were arranged on the table, the lighting well designed to provide different moods in different areas - at that moment soft and golden seeming. I felt totally welcomed and ready to find my toothbrush and sleep.
Sinking in to the extremely comfy bed I drifted off and awoke feeling great, to birdsong and squirrel antics right outside the French windows...
I have stayed in loads of Airbnb places across Europe and this is definitely up with the best.
The studio has a private home from home feel, is warm and cosy and clearly well insulated. I had the heating on low, in the middle of winter, during and after storms, and it was effortlessly warm and stayed that way, even with the radiators off.
Sandra and Neil are natural hosts, friendly and chatty, there when you need them, but never intrusive.
They’ve got lots of advice about less obvious places to go in London and are happy to help you plan it if you want.
The location is great for getting all over Central and North London. There are two train stations nearby, Catford and Catford Bridge, which go direct into London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross, Blackfriars and St Pancras.
It’s easy to get back too – there’s usually a train going to one of them in a few minutes.
I give this place the full 10/10. I got so lucky; it was a really great find!
