Wonderfully appointed apartment in great area with incredibly friendly and helpful host.
From the moment we entered the Garden House (front door protected by high end Balham deadlocks), the quality of the property was evident. The bedding was comfortable, with more than enough linen. Two and a half bathrooms was a real bonus, and the showers worked well.The kitchen facilities (including excellent Siemens appliances) made meal preparation a breeze, and it was nice to be able to dine in there as well.The lounge room was large enough and secure enough to keep the 10 month old crawling baby happy. As far as the property’s position is concerned, it is within minuscule walking distance of a Tesco Express and an excellent Italian delicatessen (the coffees were very well made). Bus stops were nearby and the nearest Underground stations (Pimlico,Victoria) were less than a 20 minute walk away. The only word of caution is that the steep spiral staircases may be a challenge for the elderly or less mobile traveller. Overall, we could not have been happier with our stay. And one more thing. We have been using Stayz for many years, and we have never dealt with a friendlier, more accommodating host than Sarah. She could not have made our stay any more pleasant, even to the extent of leaving a few Christmas treats.Thank you Sarah!

Perfect London house
The experience from start to finish was perfect. Sarah the host was great at communications, her property was awesome, clean, great location, stocked with essentials, tea, coffee, cereal etc and shampoos etc. We are a family of 5 and it suited us perfectly, enough room, enough hot water. The location was so convenient, near shops, cafes, restaurants. Transport was close, tube, buses but walking was easy to main attractions and a black cab as we had 5 worked out reasonable. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again next time we are over from Australia.

Perfect quick stay
Myself and 3 colleagues were only able to stay the 2 nights, but were wonderfully catered for by Sarah and her lovely property. In a great location and easily accommodated for, this lovely 3 level property was just the experience wanted. I wish we'd had more time and would love to return with my family one day. Thank you again Sarah.

Great location!
The property is great though a bit quirky (but not unexpected due to the age of townhouse). Didn’t realize there are 3 levels, but not a problem. Table and chairs in kitchen are too large for the space and crowd the otherwise very usable, extremely well stocked kitchen. Plenty of space for a family of 4 adults and a teen to relax after sight seeing. Very well stocked with paper goods, soaps and lotions. 3 full and 1half baths! Recommend this very nice townhouse!

Very cute, very quaint, just all around a good time. It took a day for my friends and I to get used to waking around the narrow hallways, but that's standard for the area and we learned fast. Overall it was a good time.

Fantastic!!!
We really enjoyed this place. Sarah is a great host, the place was clean and in a wonderful location. We walked to Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Victoria Palace theater ( saw Hamilton!) and several other places. For attractions further away we walked right to the underground and went al over the place!

Our group travelled from Lincoln, Yorkshire & Manchester . Unfortunately we all experienced train cancellations & train delays . Sarah answered all my queries promptly and accommodated a late checkin. A fabulous property , well equipped kitchen, powerful showers & lots of hot water . Towels were fluffy & the Molton Brown hand washes & shower gels were lovely. The attic bedroom has an eclectic library of classics& contemporary literature. An easy 12 mins leisurely walk to the underground & ~25 mins to the Kings Road & restaurants . We would highly recommend this property 10/10 Thankyou

Well-appointed home.
Garden house is a well-appointed home with everything you need and a few special additions such as bubbles, chocolates, milk and herbs and spices. The house was very clean with lovely bedlinen and plenty of towels. Unfortunately the beds were too soft for our comfort so we didn't sleep well. There were also one or two inaccuracies in the online description as there was no hot tub, bicycles or bbq grill. The location is very good and shops close to hand are a real bonus. The living areas are on the middle floor with bedrooms downstairs and upstairs which afforded privacy if preferred. The house was warm and cosy and good value compared with other places.

Great stay!
Just left and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Location was great, close to a tube station, shopping, and restaurants. We were a group of 5 adults and the accommodations were excellent for us. Sarah was great - good communication and availability as needed. Beds were comfortable, sheets, pillows etc. great quality. No issues with cleanliness, or things like the wifi working as advertised. Highly recommend.

Sarah was very good about responding to our needs. Her home was clean & comfortable with many amenities . Only issue we had was the laundry usage. When your sightseeing all day you only have the evening to do laundry & wasn’t able to do what we needed due to time restraints. We understand…but wasn’t aware of that.
