My Mom and I stayed at Ruth’s place for 3 nights to go to the Wimbledon Championships. It was really hot when we were there. The place stayed pretty cool throughout the day and the back patio was just lovely. M&S and Sainsburys was about a 5 min walk which was sufficient for our stay. Didn’t explore the neighbourhood outside of that. The flat is small but was quite comfortable for the 2 of us.
For those interested in proximity for Wimbledon championships: Location was pretty good - we queued for Wimbledon, which meant leaving the flat early in the morning (5:30 in our case), and it was about a 10 minute Uber ride. Public transit could have been an option but it would have been a bit of a hassle (change of buses would be needed, and we decided that waking up that early was stressful enough!). It was also about a 10 min drive to Wimbledon station or Wimbledon village.
