We cannot speak highly enough of our time in Gidy's family home. As a family of four, with two girls aged 2 and 5, vacations don't always feel like a vacation for all of us - but coming to London and staying in a true family home, with a lovely garden, beautiful ambience, and plenty of toys and books for our girls was just such a treat. The layout was perfect - bedrooms nice and quiet upstairs, even with a study where we were able to put my younger daughter's travel cot. And downstairs there is a spacious kitchen that is so well stocked, a beautiful and cozy living room with lots of TV viewing options and carpeted play space, and a garden you can walk out to for an evening meal, quick jump on the trampoline, or just lazy reading under the tree. The whole decor of the home was so thoughtful and felt like an oasis, with beautiful plants everywhere. The location was also ideal - Gidy left a whole guidebook of local recommendations, and we were able to walk to so many parks, playgrounds, and even one of the few old-growth forests still in London! The dinosaurs at Crystal Palace and the Horniman Museum were some highlights. Easy access to the overground also made it a quick 25-minute ride into central London when we visited Spitalfields Urban Farm in Shoreditch one morning. Gidy and family were so thoughtful leading up to and throughout our stay - extremely communicative, so helpful in sharing personal recommendations given the age of our girls, and even left a bottle of wine to greet us on our first night! We would be thrilled to come back if we have the opportunity and truly had the perfect weekend.
