The London House - Entire Villa

Thank you Karina. We loved staying in your gorgeous home! The Christmas tree in the sitting room was a lovely touch. Location was great and easy walk to the tube to get into all the central London attractions. We stayed with another family in the house and we had the basement bedroom which was warm, clean and comfortable. Karina was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay!

Il y a de la place et des lieux adaptés. Cuisine très fonctionnelle. Et le salon, agréable pour accueillir une famille de 8 adultes.

La chambre en sous sol, aucune lumière. Attention beaucoup d’escaliers mais cela fait son charme aussi.

The London house was wonderful for our group of 9 (two sets of grandparents, and a family of 5 with teens). There are 5 levels so be ready for some stairs! The beds were comfortable, the wifi fast, and the bathrooms were clean. The layout is: basement - queen with queen sofa bed & full bath; ground floor- kitchen & toilet; first floor - living space & terrace; 2nd floor - 1 BR (queen w/ full bath & trundle twin beds); 3rd floor - queen w/ full bath & folding chair bed. The decor is fresh & airy. There is only 1 AC on upstairs floor, but there are fans in all the rooms - the top floor can get warm so that makes sense. We really appreciated the Host's quick responses to any communication and needs we encountered. Location is EASY walk to Marylebone station & Regents Park - we loved the location! We cooked a couple meals at the house, and a Tesco was a couple blocks away - it was a wonderful place to call Home during our London visit.

As mentioned, we specifically looked for a place with AC as some of our party like to sleep COLD. We managed by running the unit upstairs at night and leaving the door to stairwell open so cold air would spread to the rest of the house (this worked ok as temps were mild during our stay.) There was a little stress on checking in while cleaners were still in the house, and it seemed we interrupted them - but the house was clean. Only one of the TVs worked for us (remote missing & power issue) but it wasn't really an issue - in fact it was almost nice to unplug. But like I said above, any issue or concern we had was quickly resolved or addressed by the owner & property manager.

Very nice house, liked the large space and the terrace.

Requested a 2 pm early check-in. Did not receive a response but called the owner as we had arrived after traveling all night and was told i could not check in until 3. When we arrive at 3, the cleaners were still there and they told us the owner had told them we could not check in until 4. We had 7 people, a 2 year old and all the luggage and we had travelled all night only to have to sit in 1 area while they finished cleaning. Also, the house is advertised as having AC. This is incorrect and misleading. Only 1 bedroom had AC, the remainder bedrooms had floor fans which are not AC and do not cool a room. The living areas did not have AC. Staying in London at one of the hottest times of the year, I found a property with AC for a reason. It was quite miserable being in the house as it was so hot. The second store terrace also has a very low wall with a large drop. I would advice noting this for people traveling with children. Again, I booked as it had a space for my 2 year old grandchild to be outside in, but it was unsafe for him to be outside due to to barrier.
