All amenities available (and very good Wifi). Very friendly and helpful owners. Located in quiet street, with good connection to London center: 10 minutes walk from train station âAlbany Parkâ.

The house is lovingly furnished. Everything is very clean and in good condition. You can sleep wonderfully in the beds. The local transport connection to London is optimal. We'd love to come back.

The cottage was clean, tidy and very well equipped. The hosts were very quick to come back to us when we communicated with them. We would certainly stay again.
