Sophie is wonderfully kind and helpful. From our first communication with her we felt at ease. She shared many bits of information, tips and recommendations to help us with plans and transportation. ( I am sure Sam is perfect, too, we just never had the chance to meet. :) Comfortable, quiet and very private home to come back to and recuperate after a long day of sight seeing. Plenty of amenities - full kitchen, clothes washer and dryer. Huge windows and lots of light. We cooked a big Christmas dinner and found everything we needed to do so. Four bedrooms allowed our teenage boys to have their own bed without sharing a room. Nice sofa for all of us to sit and watch fireworks in comfort on New Years Eve.
Great location. Bus stops right at the corner and would take us straight south towards London Bridge and the Tower of London. Two underground stations within a 10-15 minute walk that take you straight into central London. This was a bit far when dragging suitcases, otherwise not an issue. Nice park nearby for walks and where you can cut through to the main village street with lots of unique shops and cafes. We did not visit the Brownswood Pub but enjoyed visiting Clissold Park Tavern twice. Delicious pizza! Walking distance to Emirates Stadium in the event you get to catch an Arsenal game.
Sophie and Sam left a dining table piled with assorted travel books and maps which were very helpful when spending our evenings planning our next full day of sightseeing. We were touched to discover they decorated a live Christmas tree for us to enjoy. It made being away from home for the holidays feel more personal.
Would highly recommend to all!
