We have travelled many times by Homelidays before, then by Air BnB, in Italy and abroad, and we always had good or very good experiences. But I must say that the hospitality we received in London by Allison and her family was really the best we’ve ever had.
The “Coach house” is an elegant, spacious home, silent and sunny, perfect for 4 people (we were two adults and two kids). It was furnished with all the equipment one could desire (from the adapters for the English electric sockets to a large collection of DVD) and every detail had been prepared by our hosts to make our stay confortable and pleasant. We immediately felt at home.
The house is placed in a nice and quiet area, in a neighbourhood with many terrace houses roads, perfect if you are looking for something different from hotels and more touristic sites, and if you like to live for some days more or less as London habitants live.
However, the centre of London can be reached easily by public transports (bus and tube), as well as Stansted Airport (1h and half, but quite easy).
Thanks to the Coach house and our attentive and discreet hosts we spent some beautiful days in London; we certainly recommend it as a destination for future holydays, and we would like very much to stay there again!

Destinazione ottima come base per una vacanza a Londra. La (relativa) distanza dal centro non ci è stata affatto d’ostacolo, anzi, soprattutto i viaggi in bus sono stati occasione di piacevoli scoperte e un modo di vedere la città da un punto di vista meno usuale. Il quartiere è ricco di servizi e assai carino, quasi appartato nonostante la vicinanza di una strada di transito e di una ferrovia (però impercettibili dalla casa). Nelle stradine attorno abbiamo fatto piacevoli passeggiate, andando a fare la spesa nel vicino supermercato (10m a piedi), a fine giornata o dopo cena. La casa, poi, è davvero bella. La proprietaria, infine, molto disponibile, rapida e gentile nei contatti via mail e in ogni occasione. Lo consigliamo senza riserve e con molto piacere.
