Lizzie and Hugo's apartment in London was fantastic for our family. My daughters shared a lovely light filled room with two single beds, and my husband and I had the comfortable quiet double room that was just that little bit further away from the lounge and dining areas. Both rooms had more than enough storage for us to unpack our bags into.

The kitchen and dining room were great spaces to eat in and plan the day's activities, and contained all we needed - fridge, cooktop and oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and ample seating for the 4 of us; and the lounge room was a great place to relax at the end of a long day exploring London. There were lots of movies to chose from - we were happy to just chat as a family - and wifi access was good and consistent. Everything was also in good working order in the bathroom.

We also found the flat easily - it's very close to Hammersmith Road and just a 10 minute walk to the action of Kensington High Street. The area is lovely, quiet and has a few nice pubs and smaller shops for things like the basics - tea, coffee, bread, milk etc. There's also a Tesco Express out on Hammersmith Road.

We did find that Kensington Olympia station wasn't particularly useful for getting into town, but we discovered the number 9 bus that leaves every 4 to 6 minutes out on Hammersmith Road to be perfect (and in fact a much nicer option than the tube). It heads straight into Aldwych and passes a number of great spots to hops off at. You can been in the city within 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the traffic and time of day. We also walked from the flat into Westminster on our first day - yes, it took some time, but we love to wander!

All in all, we were very, very happy with our London stay at Hugo and Lizzie's flat - after my initial contact with Lizzie, (who was very helpful!), Hugo staying in contact with me regularly via the Airbnb app (very handy!) and made it easy for us to gain access to the apartment via Ana the housekeeper.

Thank you both for making our 4 day stay in London a great one!
