We really enjoyed our stay in London and found the house to be comfortable and conveniently located for seeing London's sites. The house has everything you need. There were some plumbing improvements that were in process that caused one of the two showers to be difficult to use but we were able to manage around it ok. The property manager was very hospitable and responsive. We will definitely consider another stay at the house on future trips to London.

We felt it necessary to communicate our disappointment with the accommodations found at property #982757,
One of the requirements we had when searching for our VRBO was 2 full baths with working showers as we are a family of 5 adults.
One of the showers had broken plumbing, causing it to very quickly flood and flow out over the entire bathroom floor.
We immediately reported this, and although the resident came to help us sop up the wet floor, and attempted to repair the pump, it proved unsuccessful. The next time we tried using the shower the exact thing happened again. This time we cleaned up the mess ourselves. Both times my wife had to wrap up in a towel whilst waiting for a repair before she could finish showering and rinse off.
This was more than inconvenient and totally unacceptable. Not only was this quite uncomfortable, but it caused us to leave much later than planned on 2 of 3 mornings and forced quite a rush for us to make it to our ticketed tour and train.

The house was charming and the location was great. The buses were very convenient and there were restaurants and coffee shops and a pharmacy and a grocery all nearby. We really enjoyed the house.

First off, we arrived early from the US and were able to check in early, which was great. Similarly on check out we were able to leave our bags and pick them up later. A great help both times. The house is wonderful and the first floor library is a lovely location to chill out. Lots of stairs so take that into account. Overall, highly recommended.

We would recommend this property and the host to anyone wanting to stay in a fantastic home full history, family portraits and the owners library. Four of us stayed and could have a floor to ourselves! Host could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Great value for money and an honour to stay in what is clearly a loved property.
8.0
The property is conveniently located within walking distance of Big Ben etc with easy reach to public transport. The buses are within less than a couple of minutes walk from the property and there are some convenience stores practically directly opposite. The house is a beautiful old property with loads of character.

lovely London home
This was a perfect place for my family to stay for a few days in London. Alan, the host, was gracious and responsive to all of our needs. We really enjoyed the sunny kitchen and dining area, the elegant study, and the comfortable bedrooms. The garden is lovely and well-kept. The neighborhood is reasonably quiet and yet only a 10-minute walk from the Lambeth Bridge, and close to bus and tube stations. Staying here was a significant highlight of our trip.

Short walk to underground - almost no walk to bus stop and local coffee shop.

Family Vacation
The property was magnificent and the pictures don't do it justice. I believe the age is more than 250 years old and the entire home had a true feeling of the history it has been part of, but all the modern conveniences one would expect. We just happened to be in London during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and the whole city was decked out and very welcoming.
Maria did a great job with communications before arrival and Alan was very responsive onsite every time we needed anything or had a question. He is also an impressive gardener with the back garden being truly breathtaking! - Hope to be able to return some time in the future.

Excellent home for family trip
we had a great stay at the home. We arrived a little early, but were still able to check in early. It was so nice to have some more space to spread out into compared to cramming into small hotel rooms.
The backyard is a beautiful garden full of trees and flowers and a lovely sitting area. Seriously, unbelievable.
There is laundry, which was well needed. Just don't use the machines after 10. Sorry to the owner for that! There is a downstairs flat to be aware of where the laundry is.
Location was fine. A little bit from most of the main London locations. But we loved the walk. Maybe a 15 minute walk to the Eye and to Waterloo station.
Overall, highly recommend and would stay again without a doubt.

Delightful English home!
We truly enjoyed our stay in London at this English multi-level home. The library/living room was spacious and felt like you were walking into a library at Downton Abbey. The garden was an oasis in a busy city-such beautiful flowering plants and trees. The location was excellent -easy to hop on city buses and, many things were within walking distance. We would have loved to stay longer,

Beautiful flat in pretty good location
The house is beautiful, on a main road with well tended properties, around 1/2 mile from Tube stations. The caretaker was very responsive, allowed us to check in early, and provided all the info we needed. The back garden was lush and beautiful. We had nice weather so we really enjoyed sitting out with our drinks and snacks.
A few things to note, some of which are already in the property description.
This is not a place for those with disabilities. There are 4 floors, with bedrooms on 3rd and 4th floors. Also, there is a large step up into the bathtub.
There is no soap or shampoo but there is a hair dryer in the bedroom closet.
There is no air conditioning but there are fans. Windows open in the sitting room but not the bedrooms so they are warm at night. The breeze is pleasant with the windows open, but there is quite a bit of road noise, especially from the motor scooters, which are quite loud.
The microwave looked ancient and we managed to turn it on once or twice but never figured out exactly how to work it.
Laundry is in the basement so you’ll have to connect with caretaker to use it. We had no problem with that at all and were able to use it while he was at work. There is detergent available.
Grocery shopping is sparse, compared to central London. There’s a Tesco Express a few blocks away which has some staples but not a lot of fresh offerings. A larger market is around a mile away. Some smaller nearby shops had fresh produce stands out front. There are lots of great pubs and cafes within easy walking distance. All the cafes had fresh baked goods to go, too.
The sitting room is large and filled with all manner of interesting books. We could have stayed for years reading them! There’s plenty of room to sit and relax with tables for devices, etc. However, the sofas have definitely seen better days.

Beautiful Garden!
Beautiful 1750s home in Lambeth, located on a gorgeous tree-lined street with many conveniences nearby. The garden alone is worth the stay...meticulously kept, quiet place to sit and take in all the beauty. Alan, the manager of the property (and gardener) was waiting for us upon arrival, taking through all the details. The only exception might be the stairs of this 4 store home. Highly recommended!!

Skip that Hotel!!
We are a family of 5 adults that wanted to be able to spend any downtime we had together during our visit to London. This property was perfect for our needs! We had breakfast together in the morning (thanks to the local grocery which is minutes away), popped into the Lambeth North tube station or walked across the bridge every day for our sightseeing and then came back to hang out in the late evening. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, which was welcome after the hustle and bustle of the day. If you are looking for a home away from home, this property fits the bill!

Great townhouse and location near London Waterloo
Overall good experience with a lot of space. The only caution is the owner typically stays in the basement and has access to the house from the basement. We didn’t have any issues but my wife felt uncomfortable using the laundry as it is on the basement floor. Overall good experience.

A lovely family home in a convenient location
This was our second stay at this property. We really wanted to come again after our first visit. The house is such a refreshing change from sterile hotel rooms and soulless apartments. It's a well-loved family home, packed full of books, ornaments, paintings etc. The kitchen in particular is so well-equipped. Plus it's so handy to get into central London by bus or tube or it's not really far to walk on a fine day.

Everything perfect! A great place to stay in London and especially over Christmas
We had just over a week in Alan's property over the Christmas period and we couldn't have been happier with the house.
It felt completely homely and comfy for our family. The kitchen is very well stocked and we were able to cook and serve a full Christmas dinner. There's a wonderful large lounge on the second floor where we all spent a lot of time doing various activities together.
Alan was always super responsive and helpful both before and during our stay.
We highly recommend and would definitely book this house again! Thank you Alan!

Excellent home base for London holiday
Not often you stay in a place which is better than the photos but this is it. The house has a really warm feeling, it’s filled with interesting books, subtle lighting, curios, lovely rugs, comfy seating. Bedrooms are large and have plenty of storage. Bathrooms are quirky - plenty of hot water. Kitchen is well-appointed. The location in Lambeth was excellent - close to the underground. We loved this place.

Great location, great house
Alan's house in London is in a great location and is a wonderfully comfortable house with abundant space. Alan is a great communicator and is very flexible when it comes to checking out or in with timing. The garden is a quiet lush private space and the house has everything you could need - we had a really great stay.

A Garden, A Library and A Home
The host is unbeatably thorough, considerate and professional. He responds quickly and carefully.
A large English garden with birds and tall perennials and benches for relaxation set this home apart from all others in this price range.
The Georgian English library is an entire floor...with TV and internet it and the garden are very special indeed
A full working kitchen is handy and beautifully outfitted
Lots of room to move around in a home that feels like home.
Take care in extreme heat...no air conditioning for spoiled guests
Happy to return to this charming home with a perfect host!

Great place!
Lovely home, spacious, three bedrooms and two family rooms. Comfortable beds and close to buses and underground. Alan kindly met us despite our tardy arrival (train delay) and explained everything to us. He was ready to help us if we needed anything (turns out we didn’t, but it was nice to know he was available).
