James was an excellent host. He was always responsive before and after check-in. The house was spacious and fully equipped. Ample street parking is available, which makes it very convenient for those who arrive with a car. The house is in the Battersea area, a very residential part of London. It is well served by buses but there is no tube service. There are some nice restaurants nearby serving a good range of food. We tried the Thai and the Indian and liked them. The Italian was also good and the takeaway pizza was very good. The pubs nearby were very good value.
