For our two-week stay in the London area, we needed a comfortable, welcoming place to serve as a home base. And we certainly found it in this lovely East Sheen studio!
We did not rent a car, so we did a lot of walking — 12 minutes to the nearest bus stop, 20 minutes to the nearest train station, and about 35 minutes into the center of nearby Richmond. We were very close to Richmond Park, and about a 40 minute walk to Kew Gardens. We very much appreciated the comforts of the apartment after a long day of sightseeing and walking.
Part of our plan was to have two meals in the aparment, and lunch out. The well-designed kitchen made it easy to do this. But if we didn’t feel like cooking, there were two pubs within a few minutes walk. And at the end of the day, the very comfortable bed gave us a good night’s sleep.
Our host, Peter, was very accommodating and supportive while at the same time respecting our privacy. It was great to have our own entrance to the apartment. The neighborhood felt very safe, even when walking home after dark.
We loved our stay in the London area, and this was a great place to base ourselves!
