Perfect location for our day at Wimbledon (and everything else in London).
The Air BnB website description, photos, and reviews speak for themselves. The place is accurately described. Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The terrace is a nice place to relax and have coffee, or whatever drink you prefer. It was like being in a treehouse surrounded by neighboring trees.
After extensive research for a day at Wimbledon, we chose Federica's flat because of the positive reviews and the ideal location. The nearby Earl's Court Tube Station was perfect. A very short 3-minute walk to the station and a 20 - 22 minute tube ride on the District Line gets to you to walking distance to the gates of the Wimbledon stadium. Also, to get to and from LHR, you only need a single train (aside from those trains within the airport between gates and baggage areas), the Piccadilly Line. Not having to transfer when transporting luggage is a huge plus. The Earl's Court Station has lifts/elevators. Be sure to go out the correct exit and you will have a three-minute walk to the flat. We had no issues wheeling our suitcases within the station and on the sidewalks/streets to the flat.
But that is only one of the many perks. Many West London sites were within walking distance. On one occasion, although it was quite a distance, we walked to Buckingham Palace (via Hyde Park) and back. Victoria and Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum were also nearby and walkable. The District and Piccadilly Lines easily took us to all our other destinations during our nine-day stay. Notably, those destinations were touristy areas where the crowds were huge and the high-traffic streets and train stations were often packed. Walking in those areas was kind of stressful for me. When fighting the crowds, I kept thinking to myself, "I'm SOOO GLAD we're not staying here." In contrast, it was SOOOO NICE to walk back from the Earl's Court Station to Federica's quiet flat at the end of the day. We also walked to some of the many eateries nearby for meals. Bailey's (one mile away) was a nice location for outstanding fish n chips. Additionally, the local T-Express and T-Superstore supplied us with some groceries for occasional dining in, and coffee for the French press supplied in Federica's kitchenette. One morning we picked up some croissants at the local T-Express (01. miles/3 minutes away). They were still warm and some of the best I've ever had.
Having read about the stair situation (no elevator), and knowing that her flat had its own laundry machine, we packed relatively lightly and had little difficulty with our luggage on the narrow staircase. The front-loading laundry machine seemed relatively new and in excellent working order. The portable drying rack was large enough to dry entire loads overnight.
Last, but not least, Federica was a tremendous hostess. Without asking, we received multiple messages before and during our stay, providing suggested travel routes/methods for our airport and Wimbledon journeys. Although we brought a small guidebook, the one in Federico's flat was better, and we used it for some trip planning. The internet wi-fi was a great convenience too.
All in all, a GREAT home base for a London visit. Although, like all BnB's, it does not have five star hotel-like amenities, for me, it is still a five-star location that suited all our needs perfectly. Highly recommended.
