This was the ideal place to stay for us.
We spent a month in London here. The house is roomy and perfectly located, just a 10-minute walk to the train station/bus stops. From there, the train takes you to the Waterloo Station, which is an easy walk or bus ride to most of London’s best places to see. (We only used public transport, which is efficient and ecomomical.)
Our host, Amanda, responded almost immediately every time, although we never had any problems. The house was immaculate upon arrival, and we never wanted for anything. She provided a basket of food so we could hunker down for a day while self-isolating while results of our Covid test (required at that time for all travelers, by the government) came back.
Beyond basic needs, the house is nicely decorated and very comfortable. There’s a huge TV in the living area, with access to Netflix, Prime, etc., and TVs in each bedroom. There’s a nice garden out back, although we were there in winter.
The neighborhood seemed quite safe. We were even serenaded by a fox each evening, and caught a couple glimpses of them. It’s quiet, for a city suburb, as well.
Nearby, also about 10 minutes walking, are several excellnt places to eat, particularly the Earlsfield Gastropub, the Halfway House pub, and La Pernella. The first two offer great pub fare, but also gourmet dishes that will surprise you. The third is great for pizza and other Italian dishes.
The well-stocked kitchen you have, however, will come in handy. Within a few minites walk you’ll find small grocery stores (Sainsbury’s Local, and Tesco Express). There’s a large Sainsbury’s within a few stops by bus.
But do visit Dugard and Daughters (butcher and larder) for great selections of meats and many other tasty things to make for yourself, as well as Gail’s Bakery for some of the best sourdough bread you’ll ever have. They’re both just a few minutes away from the house.
Bottom line - I’m not sure there is a better deal in London.
