The perfect location for exploring this part of London. We were allowed to come and go as we pleased without feeling as if we were intruding. This is a family home but we had total privacy in the converted loft space. Alex was very accommodating when we arrived earlier than we were expected. I suggest anyone planning on staying familiarises themselves with the house rules before booking, we felt they were totally reasonable but they may not suit all guests as previous reviews indicate. Communication with Julie was great using the message service on the website, unfortunately we did not get to meet her properly. We would come back again if we needed accommodation in Balham.
