The loft room is cosy and clean and the en-suite next to it is very handy. I'm a light sleeper and rarely sleep well in hotels,but this little room is tucked away at the top of the house, and I slept like a log. On top of this, Abbie has a lovely family and a friendly dog and you are made very welcome. Transport links to Central London are excellent...right on the Northern Line. Balham itself has everything you need for shopping.
