This was our first visit to London, our first booking with AirBnB and one of the highlights during our years of traveling. Staying with Vilma and Anthony felt like visiting favorite neighbors that we had once lived next to and staying in Battersea was was like being in our favorite neighborhood. It's just a few minutes from busy London while still offering outstanding amenities. A stroll thru Battersea Park, night time stroll over Albert Bridge, handmade pizzas at Doodles, risotto at the Butcher and Grill, onglet at The Source and salmon sandwiches at the Prince Albert, all top notch and literally within steps of Vilma's front door. However Vilma and Anthony are the main reason to book this location - interesting, cosmopolitan and attentive. Always a cheery word, an enthusiastic conversation or handy travel or sightseeing tips. Vilma stocked the fridge with our favorite breakfast fixings (yummy yogurt and fruit) and immediately bought hypoallergenic pillow covers when I happened to just mention a sensitivity to feather pillows. The ensuite room is large, quiet and comfy with plenty of sunlight, room darkening shades for sleep and quaint accessories. If you love genuine people and neighborhood charm then seriously consider book ing with Vilma.
