We enjoyed our stay and Anna was an excellent host from a communication perspective. She was very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond. The house is very grand. Every room is large with lots of space to spread out. The kitchen was is a perfect hub for large family meals - we had breakfast each morning before heading out. I’d suggest this home is not suited for more than 2 couples. The bedroom with a double bed is really only adequate for a single adult or child. The kids rooms are very cute but far from adults. Our 5 year old ended up sleeping with parents because it was just too isolated from the other rooms. Plumbing was a bit touchy so not ideal especially for such an updated home. The location was great being close to power station. Very safe and easy to get around. The home uses a physical key and not a keypad which was a little annoying to time arrivals. Overall this place was sufficient and because it was so clean and had a great host I would recommend for the right group size / ages.

Pros:- Anna Pockney, the property manager. (Prompt useful support and responses) Good location and neighbourhood, public transportation. Quiet and safe. Parking space. Cleanliness of the house. Basic items in refrigerator. Division of bedrooms on different floors, more private. Large comfortable beds. Cons:- [Many of these items are easily fixed] # of stairs (38 just to get to the first b/r) Lack of handrails,(difficult to get suitcases upstairs) Complexity of using the lighting. 2 dozen lights seem to need to be replaced. Bathrooms half dark as a result. No instructions provided for lighting operation. Lack of dishwasher and washing up liquid. Incorrect garbage recycling bags. Refrigerator door does not close correctly. Microwave operation was a mystery. The TV and projection system could not be used even after a 3 generational try. Italian instructions on the remotes. It would have been nice if there had been a Visitor's book.

This house is absolutely gorgeous! Anna was so responsive with my questions. The entire family loved this house and had a fabulous time there. We had one small problem with water pressure in one of the bathrooms, but we staggered usage of showers and had no problems. We 100% would recommend this property! Our grandkids (teens and young adults) were thrilled… there is even a piano (all 5 of them play)!

Enjoyed the neighborhood & park in the area, along with local pubs & eateries. Easy access to sights. Home we’ll set up with bedrooms & bathrooms, great kitchen! Host was excellent, very helpful , and ready to provide any assistance if needed

We stayed here for 4 days just before Christmas. House is large, has everything you need and a great option for larger groups or families. We all had our own space which is great, the kids area is amazing....my kids didn't actually want to leave the playroom! The kitchen is massive - I would say I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of cupboards and spent quite a lot of time trying to find things. Also a few extra towels would have been helpful as the floor of the kids shower gets quite wet and the shower in the master bedroom didn't have a door at the time (which Anna did inform us of, it was on order). Overall Anna was great, very helpful. We actually left my son's favourite stuffed animal behind and had to come back 2 days later, she let us look through the house and went out of her way to help, which we very much appreciated. The area is very nice, lots of pubs and links into central London. About a 30 min walk to Battersea Power Station but a quick Uber. Battersea Park is great if you have kids. Very safe area, overall would highly recommend!

great space in a super neighborhood. Anna was fabulous to work with.

Very helpful contact who responded very quickly to queries. Property was fantastic and in a great location.

5 adults rented for a COVID delayed birthday celebration. We enjoyed spending time in the bright kitchen and cooked several meals. Anna was responsive to our questions and allowed early check in and late check out which was extremely helpful in managing travel. Suggestion: have a complete walk through on arrival and get oriented and get instructions in how to operate oven, TV, lighting, showers, etc or consider updating manual. One of our party was oriented but was unable to educate the rest of us so we likely had more questions than normal.

Wonderful house, just like the pictures and as others have mentioned lots of stairs. We were a party of 6 adults and had more than enough room but could easily fit 8 adults. Beds comfortable and fabulous bathrooms. I wasn’t planning on cooking at all, but the kitchen is very large and well-supplied. My family loved its uniqueness and so very spacious. Very close to public transportation, which we took daily, and several wonderful pubs in the area. Thank you, Anna, for all your help. We would certainly stay again and would highly recommend it. This was our first vacation abroad as a family and this house made even more special.

Very happy with property and location. Would stay there again if with big group

easy to work with!

The house is luxurious, very spacious and well-located. Plenty of room and privacy for our group of 2 families (3 teenagers). Anna was very accommodating. A true gem.

Everything we hoped for. Walking distance to Battersea park excellent even in the heat wave. House provided us with air conned areas when we needed it. Superb kitchen and relaxing areas. Childrens areas worked very well. Overall a great experience and we would heartily recommend staying here.

In short, the listing is falsely advertised as having 3 bathrooms two with shower/tub combos and two washers & dryers. The host (as we entered the premises) informed us that we could not use the shower part of the 2 shower/tub combos due to leaking (which even occurred when utilizing them as a bath) when used as she suggested (as a bath) the water leaked PROFUSELY down through the electrical lights to the TV room (enough to fill a whole pot) - the ceiling in this room is noticeably bowing and cracking due to water damage that has occurred for some time. In addition, she (the host) shared that we couldn’t use the 2nd washer/dryer combos as that part of the home was “off limits”, indicating that it was marked as such (which the entrance indeed had masking take over the door/wall informing guests to “keep out”. The main dryer on the second floor between 2 bedrooms was basically unusable since after trying to dry clothes for more than 2+ hours had to hang dry on a rack. Lastly, the drainage systems in the house - both in the only available shower as well as the kitchen sinks were in disrepair. The kitchen sink did have a "garbage disposal" but it did not work as the host informed us upon arrival. We were instructed by the host to use all appropriate strainers in both sides of the sink. We did as she instructed but the sink continued to plug and disgusting amounts of food and grim would come up and stain the sink. Not to mention it would take hours for the water to drain. The main "shower room" that she told all 6 of us adults to use would flood into the adjoining bathroom if used more than 5 minutes. Since we had to deal with all of these plumbing and flooding issues we used up many of our bath towels. When asked the Host for additional towels she said she didn't have any more. Also when asked for an additional trash bags for the kitchen (only one was provided for a whole week!), she told us to pop to the shop and purchase more. I have NEVER had to purchase any basic necessities for a VRBO rental prior to this experience. For the amount of money that we’ve paid for the week which, we shouldn’t have had to deal with these structural home issues, the drains throughout the house being in utterly poor working order/disrepair, and being sold a bill of goods/the property’s false advertising on what amenities are/aren’t available. Do not rent this house until host and owners confirm these repairs have been made.

Great proximity to Battersea park and bus lines. Nice gated community. A few items of deferred maintenance.

Lovely spacious house - it was perfect for our stay and a great find in London.

My family and I had a wonderful experience in this house. Anna was a great host and very responsive and helpful. The house itself is beautiful and perfect for what we wanted.

My husband and I traveled from the United States with our five children (12, 12, 11, 9 and 1) and we were amazed with this home in Battersea. This home was perfect for us! The home is situated in Battersea and fully accessible to London City Center with a short bus ride. We walked to the bus stops (3-4 blocks away) and found the London transportation very easy to navigate. Our main goal was to show are children London and we were happy we stayed in a home further away from the crowds of downtown, but not so far out that travel became cumbersome.The bedrooms were great, the kitchen large and airy and the kids rooms stocked with books and toys. The rooms were plentiful for our family and we had space to breathe. The home is beautifully decorated and well-kept. While they have a tv, wifi, etc. we did not watch the tv as we were out enjoying London!I highly recommend this home and am pleased we stayed here.

We we’re traveling with two daughters 5 & 3. This property was perfect for our stay in London. Location could not be better on the corner of battersea park and and easy journey to anywhere you want to go in London. The property itself was so perfect for traveling with children. Large and spacious inside, clean and overal could not have been better.

We had a very nice stay at this home In Battersea. The location is good, but a decent walk from Chelsea, etc... the house is quite nice but quite vertical. The kids rooms are pretty small and remote, so young kids might not want to be that far away. Anna, the property manager, is great and very responsive. Overall, we had a nice experience and would recommend the property.

My wife and I visited London with our three children (6, 4 and 19 mos) and my wife’s mother. We arrived at Heathrow at 7:30a with everyone jet lagged. Anna was great to work with, getting us into the property a bit early so we could start to recover from the trip. (Anna had even picked up bread, butter and eggs for us.) The home is in a renovated schoolhouse. The space is brilliantly laid out on multiple floors, with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. The kitchen is large and modern and the den has a big, comfy L-shaped sofa, flat panel TV and video projector. The bedrooms are on the upper floors. Two of them are for adults (with en suite bathrooms), the other three for children (two are very fun/cool loft beds and the third is a comfortable full bed). Our children loved the loft beds and the playroom. A pack and play is available for a slight up-charge. The property is child-proofed, with gates on the stairways. Beautiful contemporary art and photography is hung all through the home. The location in Battersea is convenient. The neighborhood is relatively recently gentrified and had a family feel as we walked around. While not as outwardly posh as Chelsea and Kensington, it has gotten a reputation as “South Chelsea” and is continuing its upgrade as the Battersea Power Plant renovation project nears completion. There is a small Whole Foods a short Uber ride away. The Latchmere bus stop is a couple blocks from the property and will get you to Central London and Borough Market on the 344 and 44 buses in a snap. We went the other direction one day and caught a train from Clapham Junction to Windsor to tour Windsor Castle and Legoland. Battersea Park is a short walk or jog from the property. We didn’t spend a great deal of time in the park due to rain, but did jog thru early one morning and found it very nice and very safe-feeling. In summary, we loved this property and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Many thanks to Anna and Shiati for their hospitality!

An amazing family house in Central London. Anna the house-keeper looked after us all so well. The house is even more amazing than the photographs. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely come again.

Great property for a large family. Access to public transportation is very good and Battersea Park is a real plus for children. Several good pubs and restaurants within walking distance but supermarkets for food shopping are a bit of a walk. Presence of an onsite housekeeper was a bit of an annoyance.

The home fit our family perfectly. We loved the location as it was near our daughter and the park. I would recommend it. The only thing that could been done is to provide more blankets.

Our group's experience in this home could not have been better. Our check-in process was super smooth and accommodating as we travelled a long ways to get to the UK from the states and getting through customs and such delayed us. We were concerned about timing but Anna was SUPER flexible and so helpful making our arrival as pain free as possible and was easily accessible if we needed anything; which we didn't because this house has everything you could ever want. The pictures don't do it justice. It's incredibly spacious with plenty of congregating room in the media room and the enormous (biggest I've ever seen) kitchen. The layout is pretty hard to grasp from photos because it is built vertically as opposed to a traditional house but honestly its incredible. One thing to note-- don't be thrown off by the large space for children. While great for kids I'm sure we used that area for adults and the lofted beds were still comfortable and easy. Would highly recommend to any group, large or small. Though if small prepare to lose a few people in the house as it was more than big enough for 6 large guys to occupy and not even know who was home without giving a yell in the morning. I'd give it and Anna more stars if I could! Would love to come back. Also, proximity to the city and the sights is great. It's tucked away in a quieter community but a $10 Uber ride gets you right in the mix with no problems.

Seven of us, including my family of four, my mother, my sister and brother-in-law, stayed very comfortably in this house in London. The double decker bus can be caught one block away and directly serves convenient stops to all the typical tourist sites and the shopping district. The house was beautiful and clean with lots of light and lots of space. The windows are large and the ceilings are high which make the space bright and airy. The windows also have good blackout blinds which block the light when needed. There is air conditioning. My children also loved staying here. There are two children’s rooms and a children’s play area so it is very family friendly and yet a lot of space for the grown ups as well. There are three private rooms for adults, 2 that are separated from the others with their own bathroom which provided privacy. There is a 3rd double bed bedroom near the childrens’ rooms. The house has added security with it’s private entrance from the courtyard which to access you need to pass through an electric gate. The neighborhood is very quiet and there is there are 2 nice pubs nearby. There is a very large park two blocks away which had a lot of great play areas for the children, from toddlers to teenagers. Anna who manages the property was so helpful and obliging. We felt very comfortable in her hands. The couple that lives downstairs were very friendly and discrete and live in their own separated flat. In summary, we all had the best time in London staying at this beautiful house.

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house! The place looks and feel fantastic, is very large and spacious, and is very comfortable and well appointed. Being so close to the incredible Battersea Park was a major plus. I especially want to thank Anna Pockney for all her help and assistance during our stay. Overall, I highly recommend this place!
