The studio is indeed a place of tranquility and stylishly furnished and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ali is a lovely, genuine and most thoughtful and approachable host. We had excellent communication with Ali prior to our stay; she was very quick to respond giving lots of useful local advice and very flexible in terms of accommodating our late arrival. The studio was ideal as we were able to come and go as we pleased which really suited us. Thoughtful touches like the breakfast provisions were really appreciated. The location is excellent for access into central London as the Kingston mainline train station is just 10 minutes walk away. We also took our bicycles so we were able to enjoy some very scenic and beautiful bike rides along the river and around Hampton Court Palace. Kew Gardens is also only a short bus ride away so we spent a wonderful day exploring the gardens and seeing the current Chihuly glass exhibition there. We would highly recommend Ali's place and look forward to staying there again.
