We enjoyed staying in Ann and Tony's apartment, it was very clean and appeared to have been refurbished quite recently. Even though we didn't use the kitchen, everything you would need for a short stay was there. The area is quite nice, especially King's Road in Chelsea north of the river offers lots of cafes, pubs and bars to go to. We would also recommend going to the pub Magic Garden in Battersea Park Road, great food, good live music and just a 10-15 minute walk. There's at least two shops where you can get groceries within walking distance.
Ann and her family were very helpful in any situation and answered all our questions very quickly. Their son lives in the same house, so check-in and out is easiest....they even left us some croissants for our arrival, very nice!!
The apartment had two little drawbacks. One being that it is a bit draughty..we felt a bit cold at first. However, for one part it's a British house and more important Ann told us where to find a draught excluder, which solved this issue. The second point was that the location is not the best for doing touristy stuff, as it's not close to any tube station. We did underestimate the distance a bit, however busses run very frequently and to several tube stations. One bus line also takes you straight to Piccadilly. Thanks Ann and Tony for having us!
