The lovely owners of this residence are doing renovations of some rooms. They have a few rooms In this huge house. Our room, the 'green room' it was so comfortable. What a duvet! Poofy pillows, fresh linen. Towels provided, we didn't use the shower/bath but the bathroom is light and bright. The room has a great radiator and warms the room well. It also has two huge sash windows, and we were cooler in a jiffy. We only stayed the night, lived right out of our suitcases. We had clear instructions of how to gain access. We would definitely stay again, it was in a lovely quiet street, 10min walk away from The Electric of which we attended for an event. They did let us very graciously lie in for much longer than normal as our event finished v.late and they had no Sunday bookings...but they also informed us that some work was taking place on renovations in the other rooms too and we may hear some noise. We didnt hear hardly anything as we also had earplugs in. Oh! They also have a lil kitty who roams the staircases called 'Puffin' She was a cutesy. But shy. Added bonus! 😸

I had a wonderful time at Michelle & Gerald's home. They were so friendly and easy to chat with. They welcomed me like I was family. Made sure I was comfortable. I loved having a cup of tea in the kitchen and chatting with Michelle. The room was cozy and comfortable and even had a tea kettle with tea. They are close to a beautiful park and a 15 minute walk from great coffee shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay there again.

The property was perfect for our large group visiting London. Just a few steps from the bus stop and grocery. An easy walk from two metro stations made sightseeing around easy. Andy made sure the house was completely ready for our stay. He had the house stocked with everything we could possibly need to include toilet roll, cleaning supplies, and even shampoo/conditioner. There were plenty of plates, cups, and cooking items for our group of 9. Two full bathrooms with plenty of hot water accommodated multiple showers at the same time. The house is also equipped with a washer/dryer and dishwasher which made doing laundry and cooking a breeze. The property was very clean and the beds were very comfortable which was nice after long days of walking. The A/C kept the property cool during the warmer days. Communicating with Andy was easy and he is quick to respond to any questions/needs.

    We have stayed all over UK in private homes (B&B) so many times, but never have we felt so welcome as with Iuliana. She was wonderful and extremely generous, helpful and we had a great time with her and the five cats. We will stay there again next time we go to London. It was very centrally situated, with the bus right outside and the tube 5 minutes away. Also a nice breakfast cafe up the street. Things could not be better.
