This was a perfect stay: kind, welcoming and punctual, yet unobtrusive contact from James and Kate, and a _beautiful_ home to stay in for a week. All was even better than promised - extremely high standard and equipment throughout, a lovely garden, super-comfortable beds and a sofa one could really sink into, plus everything one needed to prepare a gourmet feast (had we been so ambitious - wine and cheese did nicely as well). The neighbourhood was extremely convenient for a course we were taking nearby, but we also enjoyed Regent's and Hyde Parks, proximity to Marlebone and Paddington stations, and local offerings. Just a wonderful stay!
