Last week I came back from a 16-day stay at Vilma’s home, in Battersea. It occupies the first and second floor of a typical Victorian house, being Anhalt Road a nice and quiet narrow street, residential only. You will need about 10 minutes to reach King’s Road, in Chelsea, just crossing the iconic Albert Bridge and walking on Oakley Street. If you want to go further, catch buses on Battersea Bridge Road to reach Sloane Square Station or South Kensington Station to get the underground.

The bedroom is quite spacious (I suppose more than 20 square meters) and spotless. It is airy (3 large windows) and sunny, as faces east. Four doors of 2 built-in wardrobes and a chest of drawers is more than enough to keep your clothes. A large table where you may spread your papers, a chair and a very comfortable double bed. An en-suite full bathroom (sink, toilet and high pressure shower) will keep your privacy. The photos show exactly what you will see in real. Good taste furniture and wooden floor, as the whole house. At the rear of the first floor, there is a kitchen where you may have breakfast and prepare some food in the evenings.

In the first morning, Vilma showed me the surroundings. Within a couple of minutes walking you will find a pub, 2 minimarkets, a restaurant, a caterer/ restaurant/café, a laundry, pizza shops, a club, a kind of a small amusement centre (bars, food shops and even a gin distillery) in front of a wharf. At the end of the stroll, we went to the larger minimarket and Vilma bought all itens I am used to eat for breakfast.

Vilma is a nice, friendly and easy going person. She likes to talk to her guests, helping in all they need. Anthony, her husband, is very polite.

Of course I would reccomend Vilma’s house because I felt myself quite comfortable and for sure I would stay there again.
