Joanna and Adrian’a home is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family or two couples and a friend. We really loved our stay in their beautiful home and though we have never stayed in Airbnb before so have no benchmark to compare it to, we have stayed in many holiday lets and this was absolutely outstanding and must surely be one of the best Airbnb’s out there. The walk to Kew Underground is incredibly simple to navigate and very, very close. There are numerous restaurants on the way from the train station to the house which is very handy if you don’t feel like cooking but they are far enough down the road from the house that it wasn’t noisy. The fish and chip shop was great (the owners football team was winning so he was upgrading our portions!) and the Nepalese restaurant is delicious. The house has a brilliantly equipped kitchen - and a bbq in the garden - so you can cook at home. The local big supermarket is walkable for supplies - bring your own bags or you can buy reusable ones there. The bathroom shower had plenty of hot water (it is over a proper bath which is great for bathing the kids) and there is a toilet downstairs which is handy. We loved loved loved the garden and sitting at the dining table in the evening twilight enjoying the garden. For transparency there are trains that pass by at the end of the garden but we really could not believe how you just don’t usually notice them, they didn’t impact on our stay at all (and no we are not train spotters) and it was such a novelty having them there for the children. The living room was so cosy - we can just imagine how special it is in winter with the fire on. There was plenty of seating for our family of four and had we been a group of five that would have still been the case. The house was clean, the bedding was so fresh and the beds were comfortable. Check in was incredibly easy and communication leading up was great - we never had to wait long for a reply to a question. When we arrived there were thoughtful gifts for the girls and a bottle of prosecco for us to enjoy! It was the little touches like “use me” on a box of useful amenities and brochures for nearby sites that we greatly appreciated. We walked to Richmond but you can easily get a bus or walk to Kew and catch the train. Nearby Richmond is a lovely town with a big shopping area and the Royal park, Richmond Park is wonderful. You can walk along the river from Richmond town centre, through the Terrace Gardens and up through Petersham Meadow and then head along to the Park. Kew Gardens is spectacular and literally minutes from the house. If you want to go more than twice it’s worth getting...
