Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Amanda's house. It looked exactly as it did in the pictures. It was very charming. My children (11,9,and 5) loved it. It was nice to have a place with two floors as my husband could watch a little tv at night in the living room and the kids could find their own nooks to read or hang out in upstairs. My daughters particularly liked ending their day on the rooftop patio, getting some fresh air and relaxing. There was plenty of room for all of us, our luggage, etc. The luggage had to be carried up two flights of stairs to the bedrooms so travelers should be aware of that. It took us a day or two to figure out how to regulate the shower but it was really just a matter of being patient and waiting for the hot water before messing with the knobs too much. The location was great. Many days we would walk to our destinations or walk home in the evening. We could walk to the London Eye and several of the bridges that cross into central London. If your family is not big on walking, the tube and busses were very close. My children didn't discover the playground right down the road until the end of the week which was a shame. It was a very cute park. There is a lot of green space nearby and they were even showing a movie one night in the Vauxhall Gardens right across the street. There were a few convenience stores nearby to do simple shopping. We ate at the Tea House Theatre ( and played board games there), as well as The Rose. We enjoyed both establishments.
I was almost afraid that this was going to be a case of too good to be true but thankfully that was not so. I think it was a great value for the price considering the location and space afforded to a family. There were a lot of windows which was great for all the natural light. However, be sure to close the shades at night so as to not wake up at the crack of dawn ( I made that mistake the first night). It also got a bit warm while we were there so opening the windows for a cross breeze is necessary as there are no fans or AC.
My entire family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and I would highly recommend it to others.
