What a delightful, special, restful place. Sophie & Jack prepped me superbly with instructions, keys, and even a welcome food & wine spread - so generous!
The flat is essentially 5 nooks in a row. Bedroom, TV room (with small fireplace), kitchen / work room (very spacious and BEAUTIFULLY lit thanks to skylight), a nice bathroom, and then the outdoor sitting area/garden.
Open the garden doors and the middle door, and a stream of fresh air flows all the way to the TV room. This transforms the flat into a mixed indoor/outdoor space. The total opposite of many small, dark, claustrophobic London flats.
The neighborhood is amazing - with access to Hampton Heath (a less crowded Central Park) and to the Parliament Lido, a vast outdoor swimming pool. Though a bit cold, this pool totally transformed my experience of being in London. It’s a treasure & I looked forward to my daily laps.
Tons of great restaurants, walking distance, all directions. The Stag pub became my go-to, and the English breakfast at Dominique’s was the best I’ve tried.
To sum up, this place is a welcome refuge to return to each day - a taste of village life in the middle of a great city. Thank you, Sophie & Jack!
