I had the loveliest stay I have ever had! I adore Fulham as an area, and though it was a little walk to the station it was easy to get there by bus.

I was made to feel incredibly welcome, and I was pleasantly surprised with the little service touches in the room. The room itself was so cosy, I felt at home instantly - something that is very rare when staying somewhere temporarily. The duvet and the bed..! I can't remember the last time I slept so well. You even have access to your own kettle, complete with tea, milk and sugar should you like it.

The house is gorgeous, with many photos and portraits taken by Sylvan herself (she is an amazing photographer!). During my stay I was also lucky enough to spend time with her cute cat - Poppy - who is the cuddliest cat I have ever had the good fortune to meet. Poppy even has a little bell so you can hear her an occasional tinkling as she wanders around the house. When I checked out I also became quite indebted to the lovely lady in charge of cleaning, as she offered to take out the rubbish I had accrued while packing my bags for departure (I was running late so I cannot emphasise enough how grateful I felt!)

All in all; astoundingly good value for the service, gorgeous and warm place to stay with the loveliest host who is mindful of your space yet social, and a cat cute enough to die for.

To all those who are looking for an authentically British place to stay, or simply a warm temporary home away from home - look no further!

Thank you Sylvan, I could not have wished for a better weekend in London.
