Our stay at Tim’s flat was fantastic. For our entire family, the flat truly felt like home for the two and a half weeks that we spent in London. Our children announced that they “loved their London house” and were sad to leave at the end of the vacation.
We would gladly stay there again and would unreservedly recommend it to other families.
The layout of the flat was perfect for my wife, me and our two children. It was rather more spacious than we had expected from the photographs and was extremely comfortable for us. My wife and I slept in the master bedroom and the bunk bed in the second bedroom was perfect for the children. There was ample room for the family to eat in the kitchen, in the living room or on the lovely deck and when either my wife or I needed a quiet place to respond to emails we were always able to find one (subject to children seeking us out of course!). Speaking of the deck, it was delightful to be able to sit outside and read, have a coffee or eat a meal in a private oasis in the heart of London.
Having access to the beautiful, large private garden across from the flat was a great benefit and our children would likely have been happy to spend every day running around it.
The location of the flat is ideal. It is an easy (5 mins) walk to several tube stops and to the splendour of Regents Park. Grocery shopping was easy as there is a Sainsbury’s and Tesco Express within 2 blocks and a full sized Tesco within a 10 minute walk. We were able to get many places on foot, even with two young children, and other destinations were an easy tube ride away.
Being in Fitzrovia also means that you are surrounded by wonderful pubs and restaurants (though, it must be noted, not so close that they disturb you). And Tim was good enough to provide a clear list of some of the more special places nearby.
I honestly have no complaints. We had a wonderful vacation and having a very special home away from home to stay in was a large part of the reason for that.
Thank you Tim for allowing us to stay.
