The host was very nice and accommodating. Good restaurants nearby and easy access to the tube.

Overall this property is a great value for the price. Being so close to public transit is the #1 feature. I thought VRBO properties were supposed to be "the whole house," but this property is part of the host's home that she shares with other family members, so it had a different vibe. The first time we went out, when we returned, there was a handwritten note sitting on the kitchen counter regarding a concern with a window blind. It made us feel weird that someone was in the unit while we were gone. Of course, it's her property and she has the right to do that, but it felt weird. Before we arrived, it would take the host several days to reply to messages, which was a little frustrating. As others have said, there isn't a lot of space. The shower stall is literally smaller than a phone booth. There's this weird thing in the shower that is supposed to control the water flow and temperature but it doesn't work correctly and we ended up getting scalded a few times. Even though there is a kitchenette, there isn't really anything place to sit and eat. After we had been there for 24 hours, I noticed a fold up chair and table tucked away but there wasn't really any space to set them up. There is a machine that washes and dries your clothes (all in one) that was very useful for us, once I figured out how to use it. When we arrived, the host was asleep so her daughter checked us in. She forgot to mention a few things that the host seemed upset later that we didn't know about.

This apartment was in an excellent neighborhood with a very short 5 minute walk to the Southfields tube station. It also is an easy 15 minute walk to the Wimbledon tennis courts. Please be aware that this is a very small apartment. The comfortable queen size bed takes up about half of the living space. The bathroom and shower are tiny, so it may be a problem for an over-sized person. But for a couple, it provides a good, convenient place to sleep and does have a gas range/oven and a microwave and small fridge. Can't really say anything negative about the place, other than be aware that it is small. Oh, one other thing, the street does not allow parking from 1:30 to 2:30 every weekday, so you can't leave a car parked there through the day while you take the tube to downtown London.

You had to ask for everything like toilet papers, soaps. They also got our check out date wrong
