Centre de Londres, 5 min de la Tamise, Westminster, London Eye et South Bank

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Guinevere. L'appartement était parfait pour nous 4 (parents et 2 ados) : calme, confortable, à 2 pas de Westminster et London Eye. Jennifer, très disponible, nous avait donné tous les renseignements nécessaires avant le séjour.

Very Central Location, flat could have been a bit cleaner, dust on furniture, only one egg cup. A dish washer would be useful . Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Cozy and very well equipped apartment, in a quiet neighborhood 15/20 minutes walking from Westminster. The owner was very kind and cooperative, she was not in London but following her instruction everything worked perfectly. My advise to Jennifer: too many carpets, especially during the summer. They should be kept always in excellent conditions, otherwise the dust could cause problems to those like me suffer from allergies. This is the only reason why I give 4 stars, but it is definitely a nice apartment and I would recommend it.

Jennifer's place is homey, comfy, and roomy enough for a family (parents, two school-age kids--one girl, one boy). We booked it for the twin beds in the second bedroom which are not easy to find on VRBO, as well as the excellent rate for four in London. Our first morning there, we looked down from the sunny window and spied a fox in the garden and that was the start to a charmed stay. The kids loved having a park right next door to kick a soccer ball around in or read under a leafy tree. There is also a much bigger park a few minutes away filled with families when we visited, and yet more green spaces scattered around. (We didn't know zone 1 London was so green!)

While originally we tried to stay on the north side of the Thames, the apartment is so near to major attractions that crossing the river quickly became a non-issue and we appreciated coming home to the quiet of Chez Guinevere. You could walk to Westminster Abbey if you wanted to (two or three bus stops away); we easily walked to Westminster pier to catch a tour boat. Several useful buses are very close by, mostly double-decker which is entertainment in and of itself. The underground is a bit farther, especially at the end of the day with tired kids, but still just a 14 minute walk. (Highly recommend the TFL London app and site for the Trip Planning feature.)

I'd say that the only thing lacking is a café right on the corner but that comes with being in a more quiet residential area. We slept with the window open and what woke us up were the birds, not city noises. (Ok, there is a train nearby but the birds were possibly louder.)

Jennifer as a host is a model for hosts. Lovely to correspond with her; she possibly never sleeps. Everything is as she says it will be. Easy!

Die Lage ist prächtig, zu Fuß ein Katzensprung zur Themse, Blick in den Park, ein kleiner Balkon, aber immerhin, für 4 Personen allerdings zu eng, weil mit Blumen aber nett bepflanzt. 2 Pubs in unmittelbarer Nähe (Windmill und the Black Dog), ein Costcutter und ein Coop für eigentlich die meisten Einkäufe. Empfehlenswert ist der Biomarkt an der St.Marks Church Samstags ab 10:00Uhr mit der 3 gut zu erreichen. Um das weite London zu erreichen nimmt man entweder die 3 nach Westminster oder die 507 oder 77 nach Waterloo. Wir hatten 10 prächtige Tage mit Königinnenwetter (die ich aus 3 Metern Entfernung beim English Derby in Epsom Downs sehen durfte). Jennifer hat uns mit extrem ausführlichen und geduldigen Ratschlägen stets zur Seite gestanden. Vielen Dank dafür. Many Greetings to you Jennifer, an kind regards Frank
