We have enjoyed every bit of our stay. The flat was spotlessly clean, comfortable, a fantastic mix of modern amenities and antiques, full of interesting memorabilia, books and pictures - it almost felt like in a museum. It is within easy reach of central London via bus or train. Nancy was a perfect host, very responsive and caring, making us feel welcome before we even arrived. We would always come back !
We had a lovely stay at this historic property. The apartment is beautifully furnished and ideally located for strolls across Wandsworth Common and onto surrounding areas. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment and gadgets to allow us to cook and gather round the island. There were quite a few stairs up to the apartment- and down to the courtyard to let the dog out! We soon got used to this. A really quirky property, which we really enjoyed.
Nancy was truly amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her and her place! We will be back!
This apartment was a lot larger than we expected. It's a little way out of the busyness of London but near two bus routes and we never had to wait long. The kitchen has the most amenities we've ever seen, even a bread maker but we didn't stay long enough to make use of it. Nancy is a very good host and alway available by text. She spoiled us with beautiful yellow roses too. Her place comes with lots of guide books and maps too. We've stayed in lots of homes but none compares to this one. Check out the kitchen before you buy groceries because we found lots of basics ready for us in the fridge. Recommend highly,
From the first minute to last a perfect location. Nancy couldn’t be nicer, even helped with navigation from Heathrow. Our 10 day stay couldn’t be better. Quiet, and I mean quite except of course when the relatives from Aberystwyh came to visit. Plenty of room for dinner for 11 and games before they returned to their hotel. The apartment has a feel of a comfortable home. Pictures on the web site are accurate but don’t really do it justice. Free parking is a bonus if you have a car, and the nearby parks make for great walks. Close to everything. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
A warm-hearted welcome and a cozy atmosphere in a fully equipped, spacious apartment, located in an impressive historic building - what a great place to stay in London! For us everything was perfect and we love to come back again.
The flat in the Royal Victoria Public Building was an adventure into history and world art. Nancy surprised us with fresh flowers on the tables, breakfast fixings in the fridge and wine and sweets for us when we arrived. What an unexpected treat! We had a little trouble getting to the flat but, Nancy was very helpful. Once we knew what bus to take back and forth from the subway, we didn't have any problems getting around London. The flat was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We particularly enjoyed all of the international artwork that was displayed throughout the flat. Nancy left us a very detailed list of where things were located within the flat and nearby restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries and shops. If you want to get away from the city, this is a wonderful location. Our flat was on the 3rd floor which required walking up a number of steps. But, the destination was well worth it!
We had a wonderful stay in London, and especially loved the flat here in Wandsworth Common. It was a beautiful warm place filled with interesting artwork, and you could feel the history. We enjoyed it immensely.
What a wonderfully historic and unique location. Gorgeous property and grounds. The restaurant and courtyard were beautiful and an added bonus to enjoy. A little complicated to get to downtown London, but didn’t take long. Very responsive owners who left no question unanswered. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you for making the start of our UK adventure so amazing!
To cut a long story short: here you stay in a tastefully and charmingly furnished, spotlessly clean flat with lots of personality. There really is everything you could need for a few days' stay. The hostess is a treasure: helpful, informative and concerned. The nearest bus station is 2 min away, the neighbourhood is pleasantly quiet and yet relatively close to the centre. The house itself has a slight Hogwarts feel :-) Recommendation!
We had a great stay at Nancy's apartment. It was clean and comfortable, in a very cool building.
It was a short stay - but such a great building - Nancy was awesome & I would definitely come back - book it now !?
Nancy is an amazing host, she took her time to explain everything at the apartment. Wonderful place to stay. We recommend it to anyone looking to stay in London.
Really good communication from Nancy who showed us around and had gone to great efforts to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A very comfortable apartment in a very impressive and historic setting. Great value.
Nancy is an amazing host! So welcoming and accommodating. The place was immaculate and clean. I mean, you're staying in a building from the 1850's modernized with a great blend of the old and the new - how much cooler can it get?! Every single room is a special experience. The architecture and decor itself makes Nancy's place as if you're staying in a mini-museum. The surrounding area is also very accessible with delightful coffee shops and bus stops and/or train access between a 5-18 min walk, which made getting into the center of London a breeze. Definitely, if you are looking to stay in a safe area, in a unique abode, with easy transportation access, hosted by a delightful lady, then this is your place. This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed through VRBO (or similar) both because the place itself is so special and also because Nancy was such a lovely host (and we've stayed in many different places). Two thumbs up! Highly recommend.
We had a great 2 night stay, Nancy was so lovely and welcoming getting straight back with any questions we had. A beautiful apartment with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Would certainly rebook if we needed to stay up in town again.
Wonderful stay at an amazing apartment. Everything and more available for your stay and Nancy couldn't of made us feel more welcome. Very clean, bright and with lots of space. The building itself is fascinating and steeped in history. The location is beautiful with lots of lovely restaurants nearby. We can't wait to come back soon.
