We just returned from a 10 day trip to London where we used Guohui's place as our home base. We are a family of 4 with two children - ages 8 and 11. We would highly recommend this place for so many reasons:
- The hospitality and responsiveness of the hosts. All of the questions I sent were answered promptly and included helpful information. They also left some Easter candy and kids toys/books out for when we arrived - the kids were thrilled!
- The location was perfect for what we needed to do. The building the flat is in is directly above the Vauxhall Tube and Train stop. Making it very easy to get around by both Tube and Rail. In fact, the train from Vauxhall is the one that takes you to Windsor Castle - making that an easy day trip. There is also a large bus stop across the street and we got quite comfortable taking the bus around too (look into the CityMapper app which helps direct you to the best mode of transportation). The flat is also located near 3 mini - supermarkets and there was a "Pret a Manger" in the building which we used most days for breakfast on the go.
- The set up of the flat worked out well for my family. My husband and I shared the larger bedroom (very comfortable mattress), my daughter slept in the second bedroom - and my son used the pull out couch in the living room...so everyone has their own space.
- We had been looking for a flat that had a washer and dryer - and this one did. We are not used to using the washer/dryer combo machines, so it took a little practice, but we got it done and that was helpful to have.
- One thing I will note. There is a concierge in the building and we assumed they would be able to help us book tickets - call a taxi - etc. They were very nice, but they are not that type of concierge. They main function seems to be to collect package and check keys in an out. Once we realized they would not be able to book thing for us - we went back to booking on our phones and calling Uber - which worked fine.
Wonderful hosts, flat and location. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
