Great stay
Great stay in typical London flat. Close to supermarkets, shops, pubs, restaurants, quick connection via tube or bus to city centre (10-15 min walk to Tube stations, 1hr Piccadilly Line to Heathrow…). Small flat, good for 4-5 people (being 5, we had to build/unbuild the sofa bed every day). Single glazing (not unusual for older buildings) but we’ll-heated. Rather soft mattresses so if you‘re prone to back aches, be warned :). Water pressure in shower a bit on the low side (which, in my experience, is quite usual), but overall we felt welcome, comfy and had a great week.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Richards

Host profile image
We moved to Italy in 2005 to pursue our dream of creating and running holiday apartments. Having lived for nearly 20 years in London it has always had a special place in our hearts so we were delighted when we were lucky enough to be in a position to invest again in this great city.

Why they chose this property

We missed this area with its combination of great independent restaurants, unique pub theatres, elegant architecture, individual shops, vibrant community and excellent transport links. This flat has all of this on its doorstep but is located down a quiet cul-de-sac in a secure development with leafy green aspects to the front and rear.
We bought it specifically as a holiday let that visitors could feel at home in it while having easy access to a great London "village" as well as the city itself. When time allows we also love to spend time here ourselves - it is our city home, we love sharing it with visitors, some of whom have returned many times. For that reason we don't charge a security deposit, preferring to trust people to treat it like their home.
Our home in Italy is called Casal dei Fichi - Fig Farmhouse, that is why we call this Fichi in the City.
