We absolutely LOVED our stay at Luis' place in Balham. Close to tube, overground and bus to all the places we wanted to go. Great restaurants just steps away (Milk is one of our favorite breakfast spots in the whole world!). The flat itself was immaculate, well-stocked, efficient and quiet. We were there for a week and never heard anything outside. There is great light when you open the shutters and good blackout darkness with them shut (which is wonderful for small children when jet-lagged!). Luis made things easy with check-in and check-out and was very easy to reach via WhatsApp while we were there. My two daughters kept talking about how much they loved this flat and how they wish they could live there! Thank you to Luis! This made our trip absolutely wonderful!
