Lovely spacious flat that served it purpose for our group of five. We were able to walk to the Pimlico and Victoria underground stations, the London Clipper, and take the bus to the Science Museum. The host is very quick to respond to requests and questions and was helpful when we had to sort out temporary parking. Thank you.

We loved our stay here! It was in a great location for our family of 6 (children ages 12-20). We walked to many restaurants, tube stops and bus stops. There is a great little Italian shop right on the corner that has the best tiramisu!The home was clean, very well acquainted with many thoughtful extras. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it for a trip to London!

I am so sorry the boiler turned off during your stay. When you told me, I went round within an hour of and fixed the problem within five minutes but called an engineer to make sure it dIdn’t recur - I was always available with any questions and prefer to meet guests in person so they know thIs but your arrival time dodnt allow for this.

Sarah is the perfect hostess- in contact with you before you arrive, asking if you need any specific things, and then providing those things! The house is cozy, lovely, well located and plenty of space for the 4 of us who stayed there with our own bathrooms. The kitchen is lovely and she left Prosecco for us when we got there. She checked in regularly.We had a great time!

This charming Pimlico home could not have been more perfect for our family of five traveling to London over the Christmas holiday. In terms of location, the house is in a lovely neighborhood with reasonably close access to two Tube stations. There is also a wonderful coffee shop right around the corner, which we went to multiple times. The house itself was clean, well equipped, and quiet. On Christmas day, we made a full meal and watched television together in the spacious living room. The owner was FANTASTIC to work with and quickly responded whenever we had questions. I highly recommend this property to any family or small group (5-6 people) looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay in London. My family and I loved it!

This is a truly adorable place. I absolutely loved the little kitchen and spent a lot of time in there. Sarah is a wonderful host that went above and beyond to help our stay be comfortable. Five of use stayed here, which is probably the maximum amount of people that could be comfortable. 3 adults and 2 teenagers. Everything that you could think of needing was provided- especially in the kitchen. There are plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance, as well as quick access to the tube. There is a launderette a block or so away that we used. The machines were good and the people (other customers) were kind and helpful.Things to consider when staying here:Lots of feather pillows- very fluffy and comfortable, but difficult for those with allergies.Lots of stairs- it is a 3 level home.Lots of bathrooms and privacy!Incredibly convenient and a truly wonderful host. This was a great place to adventure in London from. Great location but also in a quiet neighborhood to rest and rejuvenate for the next adventure. I highly recommend it!Notes on the layout: There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the lowest level. The kitchen, toilet room, and sitting room with a sofa bed are on the main level. A loft with a sofa bed and a bathroom are upstairs. This provided our larger group a lot of privacy but also the ability to be together when we wanted.

The Garden House was amazing! We were a group of 7 with young kids and older teens, and the house offered separate spaces for everyone to chill out in. We were warm and cosy in the home, which made us really feel like we’d arrived in London after a long flight from Sydney. The kitchen was super cute and the three bathrooms were lovely - just what we needed. The beds were really comfortable and great for getting over jet lag. Close to everything we needed, we especially loved the short walk down to Milbank Dock so we could take a clipper ride along the Thames into the centre of London. It was also only about a 5 minute walk to Pimlico tube station, which got us to all sorts of places around London in the week were there. A huge thank you to Sarah, who was brilliant with communication and really helped us to work around our flight schedules. Would stay here again and would highly recommend to anybody staying in London.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming property! It was the perfect getaway for our family vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated; with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked. The location was ideal—just a short walk to Victoria Station, restaurants, and a grocery store. Our host, Sarah, was incredibly kind and responsive, answering all our questions promptly and even leaving candy for us. It made us feel so at home!

This is a great place to stay and be close to most of London's key sites. We loved the neighborhood! The flat was comfortable and Sarah was very responsive to all of our questions. My only criticism is that there needs to be more closets and drawers, etc. for guests. We stayed 11 days and it was hard to find storage space since all the closets and many of the shelves were full of extra supplies and stuff. But honestly that was a minor inconvenience. I would highly recommend this flat!

We had the most fantastic stay at Sarah’s property. For a family with two teenagers there was plenty of room for us all. The studio level was perfect with it’s own shower room and plenty of books and games. The bedrooms below the living floor were beautiful with quaint outdoor space and plenty of bedding and towels. The living floor had a comfy spacious lounge with dining table and the kitchen was beautiful. Such a beautiful property. The area was quiet and easy to walk to either Pimlico tube station or Victoria. We preferred the Pimlico stop as it was easier to navigate it was a short one stop ride to Victoria to change lines. Overall we had the best trip to London and we will definitely be back for sure. Thanks Sarah for your fantastic communication for check in and check out. We had the best time!

Sarah was very easy to connect with, and she was kind enough to allow us to drop our bags off early since we were already in town. She helped us find plans for activities in London for a very hot day and her home was spotless. It was ideal for our family of four, especially since our children are two older teenagers and they both had their own space. Having a well stocked kitchen and washer dryer were musts for us. The home is located in a safe neighborhood very close to Pimilco tube station. Not far from many restaurants. Having four bathrooms is an almost unheardof luxury. We would certainly stay here again.
