Opening the front door of this white stucco terraced house, you look straight up the stairs - carpeted in dark blue with pale green walls - to a conservatory/study: a green oasis with windows on all three sides.
But don't go up the stairs yet ! Turn right on the ground floor and you're into the yellow-and-blue bespoke kitchen/dining room with hand painted French tiles, working window shutters, fridge, freezer, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, high-chair. . . and sun-trap terrace beyond.
Down to the half-landing there's a charming back bedroom with fold-down bed (hidden in a cupboard!) and its own WC/wash area.
Now go on down to the lower ground floor, where there's a good laundry area (2 x washing machines, dryer, airers, 2 x irons and ironing boards, a patio garden, a double bedroom (with a hugely comfortable Queen bed), shower room and adjoining sitting room with a fold-out sofa bed, Sky TV and kitchenette off.
Now go upstairs again and, passing the kitchen/dining room, go on up to the first floor, past the conservatory/study (where the Broadband unit is - and it's wireless, too) and past the Dolls House. Now you find another double bedrrom (with twin beds) and ornate ceilings, as well as a sitting room with working floor-to-ceiling windows leading to an ornate wrought-iron balcony. Therre's a working fireplace, working shutters, Sky TV, cozy sofas and chairs. .
Now head up to the next half landing: a good shower room (the shower is GREAT!). Up again: two more double bedrooms (one twin, one Queen, 2 cots, baby-alarm, another TV/DVD) and another bathroom. Oh, and a top landng too - where children love to play . . .
The house is warm in winter (Central Heating, of course) and cool in summer (with fans for the few very hot summer nights). There are two hairdryers and many other bits and pieces to make your stay truly homely and comfortable. Towels and really good linen and bedspreads provided and included in the price.

Guestbook
"We had the most wonderful week in London and I can't tell you how much we loved your home! It was just perfect for us. I can imagine how lovely it was for you to live there and raise your children there. My children wanted to move in! The house was very well stocked; we had everything we needed. And we really did take advantage of the markets and the restaurants all around us. It was absolutely the experience we were hoping for. Thank you again for your many kindnesses and help in arranging" - April 2009
"We rented this lovely home in April 2009. The location was wonderful, allowing you to escape the bustling city, but still be within a short walk of Victoria Station or short bus/tube ride to all the major sites in London proper. Plenty of space in this house for 1-2 families. Did we mention the shower? Well at least one of them had the best water pressure we've ever experienced - anywhere! Plenty of places nearby for food stocks, from a full size supermarket to smaller ones and specialty stores." - April 2009
"I must say, your house was amazing. As a group, we couldn't have found a better place to spend our holiday. I'm going to be recommending your house to any and all that need to travel to London and would prefer to avoid hotels. In fact, I'd recommend it OVER a hotel. It really is quite beautiful and perfectly located. Simply perfect." - March 2009
"It’s been great – a wonderful house, a great location and a real home from home. I keep expecting someone to come in and say “What are you doing in my house?!” Hope we get to stay with you again in the future. " - February 2009
"Grazia Siamo! Stati benissimo, la casa e bellissima. Ci ritorneremo!" - October 2008
"The house was lovely and we very much enjoyed our stay. The children loved it also - they want to move to London and live in this house! Enough bathrooms and toilets, too- no waiting in line! And great information provision and organisation to make life easy. Will definitely pass on the info and hope to stay again. Our friends who came to visit loved it, too. And thanks to the proximity, we could go to Buckingham Palace with the children. " - August 2008
