We stayed at Veronica & Anthony's place for 4 nights while enjoying London with its amazing immersive theatre shows. When checking in, Anthony took the time to show us around, asked lots of nice questions and truly was an engaged host. Nice landing, for sure.
However, we were expecting a bit more than was advertised. Starting with the confusion about breakfast. We'd read enthusiastic reviews about the breakfast, but it wasn't provided anymore. It would be great to start the day with some coffee. But in the kitchen - even though we were allowed there - we didn't feel too welcome, except for making a quick cup of tea. We were not supposed to eat in our room either, so this lead us to eating all meals outdoors - more than we’d wished.
Back to the house itself; this was super clean and quiet. It felt like how we designed and maintain our own home. However, the room we got was pretty small. Only 10m2 or so, with the bathroom placed in the hallway (with a kid living there, this makes you not shower when you get home late). The living space mentioned is on the ground floor and was quite full and obviously in use by the family, so we didn't really feel like we could relax there. For a short stay, it was more than alright, but for a longer stay this would be a bit too cramped for us.
So to conclude: if you’re looking for a nice bed to sleep in, in a culturally diverse neighborhood (shoutout to Malic, and his Green Monkey brunch place in particular), Anthony and Veronica’s place is a good option. But it you’re looking for more of a b&b, this place could be a bit disappointing.
…oh and btw: if you decide to to buy an Oyster card for public transport; keep in mind that the house is in zone 3 (centre is zone 1-2) and 30+ minutes to central destinations in the city.
