Quiet comfortable apartment near everything

Thanks for sharing your comfy apartment with our family during Wimbledon. We really appreciated the ability to walk to the tube, railway and several nice restaurants. We appreciate Michael walking us through the flat and giving us pointers to getting around (Oyster card). Double thanks to Fiona for the tip on the Turkish BBQ place around the corner. We will stay there again on our next trip to London.

Cozy flat in Balham

My wife and I enjoyed our 5 day stay in the Balham/Clapham area of London. The flat was warm, cozy and clean and the hosts, Michael and Fiona made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, including orange juice, milk, eggs and croissants. Location is good - only 5 minutes or so from the Balham tube and train stations. As an added bonus, the lovely Nightingale pub is only a 7 minute walk away!

Perfect location. Perfect hosts.

This apartment exceeded our needs and expectations. Michael was very accommodating and helpful. We arrived and found everything we needed for breakfast the next morning. The bus stops and Balham underground station were close by and we enjoyed our rest and privacy at the apartment when we returned from sightseeing. Thank you again, Michael... everything was perfect.

Experience to repeat for sure. Great host, beautiful place.

Such a great experience, a beautiful apartament, clean, true to the photos and a great location. The neighborhood was so quiet and safe. We walked from the underground with our son to the house by night and it felt like home. There are two grocery stores near by and an outdoor market. Michael was a fantastic host. We arrived late from the airport and we were graced with milk, eggs and croisssants for our breakfast. Thank you Michael for your kindness and we will back

Great apartment and great hosts!

Michael and Fiona were more than accommodating during our stay. The apartment is clean, full of amenities, and well kept. The location proved to be ideal, as we were only a short walk from the underground and rail station. This allowed us to explore all of London’s offerings. The neighborhood was safe and had two grocery stores up the street (also a short walk) and a nice outdoor market as well. We definitely recommend staying here for any travelers passing thru London. We will be back! Thanks again, Michael and Fiona, for a wonderful stay. Mark & Pau Jensen Beach, FL

bon plan en famille

Fidèle à l'annonce, vraiment très bien situé pour départ des visites ( 5 mn de marche pour prendre soit le train vers gare centrale de Victoria soit le métro Northern - station Balham), dans rue calme, bons couchages, supermarché entre le tram/train et l'appart en rentrant le soir pour faire les courses. Kitchinette avec la base pour cuisiner mais suffisante. Bon confort (literie, wifi, télé). Demander à Mickael prise "plug" pour nos équipements frenchies. Pour info : nous avons atterri à Southend (60km londres) : prix mini cab pour 4 personnes 70€-80€ en réservant par Kabee. Nous recommandons. Merci Mickael.

Soggiorno consigliato

Siamo stati a Londra a metà giugno. L'appartamento è in zona tranquilla, pulito, accessoriato, entrata indipendente. I proprietari che abitano al piano di sopra sono cordiali, disponibili, discreti verso gli ospiti. Ha la fermata della metropolitana a pochi minuti a piedi. Rapporto qualità - prezzo: ottimo.

Très belle et confortable appartement dans un quartier calme.

Nous étions déjà venus l'an passé à Londres dans un logement à Battersea, plus proche du centre mais où seul le bus passait. Cette année, nous sommes certes un peu plus loin mais le métro qui y passe fait partie de la ligne essentielle de Londres. Du coup, nous sommes plus rapidement dans chaque quartier.. L'appartement est à proximité d'un parc, d'où la possibilité d'aller courir de bon matin.. et de partager le quotidien des locaux... De plus, il est très facile de stationner dans la rue à proximité de l'appartement, il suffit de prendre un ticket à la journée.. Le voyage en voiture est beaucoup moins cher pour une famille et plus rapide (pour nous qui sont normand 5h au total) et franchement la conduite à gauche, on s'y adapte très vite. Du coup, nous avons poursuivi notre séjour à Oxford.. L'appartement est vraiment super, chaleureux et les propriétaires très charmant s et bienveillants. Une très bonne adresse..
