Had a great welcome from Michele, all the basics were provided so no need to go shopping when we first arrived (milk, butter, bread, coffee etc as well as some lovely biscuits and even stuff like washing up liquid). Area is not great for amenities, however it's friendly and exceptionally well placed for the public transport system. It's less than 5 mins walk to the station and bus stops so very easy to get in and out of central London. The house was exactly as described on the site, with a lovely kitchen and dining area and a fantastic garden for sunnier days. We loved our stay, kids were happy, mother in law very pleased with her private en-suite at the top of the house and we were able to relax after our long days out in London. Would highly recommend.
