We loved staying at Anne-Sophie's flat. It is spacious, light, and charming in its decor. Although we were sharing the family's home with them, we had our own room and bath, and accessed our space with little interaction, so we had plenty of privacy. Home-made bread/jam, cold cereals and juice and coffee were our regular breakfast fare, served on a balcony with a nice view of not-too-distant central London. There is a gentle hum of morning traffic on weekdays, but one rarely hears horns or dogs barking. The flat is 2 short blocks from large, beautiful Brockwell Park; it has great paths for ambling or running, several tennis and basketball courts, and wonderful dog-watching opportunities. A few shops are located a half-block away from the flat, and Herne Hill shopping center is around 4 blocks away, with numerous eateries and a fun junk-shop (whimsically called "The Society for the Protection of Unwanted Objects"). The Tube and bus stops to nearby Brixton are accessible from the flat (Brixton is an interesting place in several ways and well-worth a visit). Anne-Sophie is very warm, gracious, and helpful whenever needed, but she is never intrusive. We eagerly look forward to staying at her flat again when we're in London.
