When we search for a place, quality of sleep and cleanliness is top of the list. Hannah's place scored 100%+. We stayed nine nights and had almost better sleep quality than at home. This is a new Airbnb listing in a new-build building. All areas are to the rear of the building. The very spacious kitchen/dining room is on the ground-floor with the two bedrooms down stairs to the floor below - with ample day-light from floor to ceiling windows and a glazed door from each room onto a small outdoor area with a table and two chairs.

È stata la prima volta in cui ho scelto di alloggiare in una stanza privata anziché in un appartamento indipendente...non ci è mancato nulla! La camera da letto è arredata in stile classico ma moderna, molto spaziosa e luminosa, cosa difficile da trovare a Londra. È provvista di un bagno privato pulito e fornito di tutto. La zona è tranquilla e molto vicina a Victoria Station, da cui si può accedere a qualsiasi tipo di mezzo per muoversi in città. Simone è stata un padrona di casa perfetta, gentile, puntuale è sempre sorridente...la possibilità di poter parlare con qualcuno del posto e ricevere consigli sui posti da visitare e i locali da frequentare è stata davvero il valore aggiunto.

Our stay at James' home was wonderful! The recently updated interior & beautiful furnishings made us feel right at home. The house is very well equipped with even more than is described in the listing. The kitchen was a pleasure to use and the open layout into the dining room & living room was perfect. The layout of the second & third floors was great and the bedrooms & beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated the lack of clutter in the house, James & family have fully furnished this home, but also left it feeling open and uncluttered. All rooms, areas and surfaces were pristinely clean. We LOVED the backyard & the entire neighbourhood! Very nearby are two large & well known parks that were a pleasure to explore daily. James' home is quietly tucked away on a tree lined street yet very close to all the amenities of bustling Ealing Broadway. Great restaurants, pubs, grocers, & shops are within easy walking distance, yet the house is in a quiet area. 5+ stars!

My colleagues have really enjoyed staying at this property; the property is maintained to a very high standard with regular thorough cleans throughout the stay. The hosts have been extremely welcoming and ensured that everything is perfect for the stay. Grenadine House, has been a relaxing home away from home and the perfect place to unwind after a busy day a work. In fact, my colleagues wanted to stay longer :0)
Abbiamo soggiornato nell'appartamento di Keda per 10 giorni ed è stata un'esperienza positiva. Appartamento pulito, completamente accessoriato e ben organizzato negli spazi, anche se non molto grande. Nonostante il quartiere sia un po' underground, è comunque silenzioso. Posizione comoda per gli spostamenti. Keda è stata molto gentile, ospitale e disponibile, e con piena flessibilità per check-in e check-out. Ci ha anche fatto trovare vino, frutta e cioccolatini di benvenuto. Consigliato!

I had a great stay here! Check in was so easy and convenient. The photos online are very accurate to the actual place and that's not always the case. I appreciate the water in the fridge and the soaps, hair dryer in the bathroom. Cloths and detergent for keeping everything clean. Had a dishwasher and washing machine Great closet space. I absolutely loved the area. It feels very safe and it's easy to walk to Victoria Station or Pimlico Station. Groceries, cafes and restaurant aren't very far eitherThe chair to the side of the bed was great for reading and watching movies. Simone, the host, is very helpful and very communicative.

I had a great stay in Simone's Luxury flat. I cannot recommend the location highly enough on a quiet peaceful street in pimlico with the river and battersea park close by, the interior is perfect with every detail considered making my stay very comfortable and she has fast internet which I needed for working from home. I will definitely recommend to others and would love to stay here again when in town. Communication with Simone was easy and helpful

I stayed for one month at Diana's place and everything went very smoothly! Diana was super responsive and friendly which made a huge difference when staying for long periods. The place is amazing, the pictures dont do it justice. Very spacious, full of light (windows on the front and back of the building). Its very private as there are no neighbouring buildings right in front of the windows. every room has a lot of space. There is also lots of closet space as well. The bed is very comfy. Note that you have 1 flight if stairs to the flat door, the 1 more to the bedrooms and bathroom, and a final flight of stairs to the kitchen and living room.
