Comfortable, clean, great location
My family of four (two teens) stayed for four nights. We really enjoyed our stay and felt at home. Nice living room area to unwind after a day out. Comfortable sleeping spaces (two of which are lower level with one having a bit of a damp smell) with nice clean linens. Host was quick with responses and great at communication in general. Location is great. Easy walk to coffee shops, pubs and a Tesco as well. Would book again.

The place was amazing. The host was extremely helpful giving us super valuable advice for getting around London. Tube and bus stops were super close to the house. Could not recommend highly enough.

Amazing Place, Location, and Host!
I can’t say enough about this house. Such a great location. Walkable to most major London attractions and close to the Underground. Sarah, the host, was so accommodating and helpful! We were a family of five with three teenagers. There was enough room for everyone to have their own space, which was much needed after spending seven days together.

Quiet Location with Charm
Great property in quiet and very walkable location to tube and restaurants. Very nice to have beds for all of us, washer/dryer, and kitchen for some cozy mornings. Host was great to communicate with and made the stay very easy.

Perfect spot for our family vacation
Charming 3 story flat with all of the amenities needed for a family trip based in Pimlico. Access to several small local grocery stores only minutes away by foot and a coffee shop right around the corner. Bus, train and tube station all within easy walking distance - we preferred to walk to most sites given really cooperative weather. Sarah was a superb host assisting with questions along the way when planning this Christmastime trip. We couldn’t have had a better experience! Thanks again Sarah!

Another fabulous holiday
This is our second time staying at this property and we liked it just as much as, if not more than, the first time. We are 3 old friends, living in completely different parts of the world, so this is an great place for us to gather, and still have the personal space that we have grown accustomed to. The flat really suits us - with 3 separate bedrooms and bathrooms (YEAH!). We all agree that the standard is good to excellent - 5 star hotel bed linens for instance which is rare in a holiday rental. New carpets in the bedrooms are also comfy in the cold of the winter! Great area with easy walking access to a great grocery store (Sainsbury's on Wilton), terrific restaurants and transportation in case you want to get to other parts of London. Importantly for me, great internet too as I had a lot of work on while we were there. Will definitely be staying here again!

Our week in London
Thanks to Covid, this was our 3rd attempt at a week in London with our daughter, husband and her 2 teens. It was a glorious time and this home was an outstanding base of operation. The location near two bus lines and the Pimlico tube stop made it quite accessible. Sarah was a responsive and very engaging host for a property that was well equipped and comfortable.

The Garden House
This was the perfect place to stay for our first visit to London. Sarah was very accommodating letting us put our luggage there early on our arrival day. She also gave us a great tip for “Car for hire” to get us to the airport at the end of our stay. The place was very comfortable and plenty of space for us 3 adults needing our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds were comfortable for getting much needed sleep after seeing a busy London. The kitchen was clean, well stocked with pots, pan, dishes and the basics of seasonings and more…The Garden House is only a block from the Tesco Express, coffee shops, and a great Italian deli. You can walk 30 minutes to see everything in Westminster or take a close by bus, tube or a £7-8 Uber. We would definitely stay again next time we visit!

Lovely Accommodation
We are a family of 5; two adults, two teenagers and a senior. The accommodation worked out very well for us. Sarah communicated with us in advance, helped with transportation from the airport and was helpful throughout our time in London. I would highly recommend.
