Family trip with a bonus

I just wanted to thank you for a great week. We really enjoyed your lovely apartment and appreciated knowing you were there if we needed anything ! we lucked out with the weather and really got to explore the city - my feet are sore from walking so much. we especially enjoyed having a "home" to go back to with our kids instead of a Hotel !. We hope to come back ourselves and will certainly recommend it to others. You will have to tell David he shouldn't have told us his story of missing his flight as we promptly missed ours the next morning !!! Didn't set our alarms and were awakened by the taxi driver ringing the bell !!! We were out the door in 20 mins but arrived after the check out had closed -- fortunately we were rescheduled for the next day - so we took a train to brighton !! so -- not only did we have a wonderful week we had a great bonus day too !!! Thanks so so much for everything !!

A week in London visiting our daughter and what a wonderful flat. It was perfect for us, close enough to London to easily get in and out but far enough away that we could relax at the end of a busy day. The tube was a short walk away as was a grocery and several pubs. The flat was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with everything we needed and the welcome basket was a special treat, providing not just the necessities but also the perfect sweets and treats. Dave and Laura were the perfect hosts. They were available as needed making recommendations for excursions, pubs, and cigar shops but this was balanced with a respect for space and privacy. We are already planning our return trip in the spring and have recommended this flat to friends. Thank You Dave & Laura

Best days in London

Me and my husband spent three moths at Laura & David's place and enjoyed each single day. When we had to leave it felt like almost leaving home. Laura&David with their cute kids are a really pleasant couple, very helpful and a good company for chats in the evenings. The apartment was very spacious, comfortable and neatly arranged. We were surprised to find everything we needed from an iron to owen and dishwasher. We liked the big, well arranged bathroom. One very good thing was the fast traffic connection to the centre (direct bus, london over&underground). Another was the vicinity of a big supermarket. On the weekends we enjoyed walks & running at the nearby canal or Queens park.Without any second thoughts we would choose to stay at their place again.

The Best of the Best

Having done considerable research prior to deciding on The Georgian House, an excellent decision it was. The accommodation was perfect - so well furnished, spacious & bright, exceptionally clean, wonderful outdoor spaces. This beautifully appointed flat is unique in that it is two separate floors, one with sitting area, kitchen, dining space & bathroom; the other with comfortable lounge area, large master bedroom, ample storage & full bathroom with tub & shower. Both floors have access to the outdoors. The attention to detail makes such a difference - quality linens, towels, duvets, wonderful decorative touches throughout. This is an exceptional residence and one that the owners obviously take great pride in. Having stayed in many other VRBO flats in both Europe & North America, The Georgian House was by far the best of the lot. Laura & David were the perfect hosts, always available for advice, directions and the right answers to all our questions. They made us feel so welcome & very much at home. Thank you David & Laura for making our stay in London such a pleasure and we will certainly recommend your charming home to both our friends and family who plan to visit the beautiful city of London.

The London Life!

Hi to Laura, David and the family. Our stay in the apartment during early May was outstanding. London weather turned on a real show for us. Besides all the fantastice things we did in London it was really topped off by our stay at the Georgian House. Spacious and elegantly decorated it was a haven after long days of sightseeing. My husband was particularly impressed with the standard of the accommodation and he can be quite picky. The welcome basket of goodies was appreciated. I can only agree that the access to transport options was very handy. We were able to catch the Tube, bus No 18 or 73 into central London - gives another perspective of local life. Also the London overground connections to Richmond and Kew Gardens was just brilliant for a day out. We were also able to use this route to get to Gatwick airport when leaving instead of going all the way back into Victoria station during morining peak hour, (great suggestion Laura). All in all a great stay and would not think of staying anywhere else on return to London.

Owner response:London is totally spectacular at the moment - weather is just perfect the gardens , parks, hedgerows are in full bloom --- the capital with the greatest amount of green space -- just right for pottering around the corner to have a picnic in the park --- no need to make your own - get a ready made picnic basket from one of our renowned delis !! -- save the hassle for someone else Couldn't find a better trip than Kew or Richmond -- certainly on my top spots for getting a true sense of real london. I think you guys had the knack for seeking it out !!! Off the beaten track gives up so many treasures ! Thats why I love this city - something of interest at every turn

Dear Laura and David! Thank you very much for your hospitality. It was great!!!! We have enjoyed every single moment. London is a fascinating city. Your apartment is so beautiful that we would have liked to stay for ever - very tasteful and stylish furnishings. Most of all very clean and tidy. The terrace is a huge hit. Sabine and I, Barbara, we wish you and your lovely family the very best. For us you are the number one in London.

Owner response:We are always delighted when guests have a great time as thats what its all about !!. We are very lucky to meet so many fantastic people from all over the world and are also very proud of this fabulous city - so we really enjoy helping people get the most out of it -- we hope you will love it as much as we do We are also great travellers and have tried to make the apartment all that we would want ourselves if we were the renters - so, totally delighted when it is enjoyed.

Relaxing, luxurious and welcoming home away from home

For us, the week we stayed at the Georgian House was just perfect: from the location - away from it all and yet within easy reach of bus and tube - to the lovely airy reading room and the welcoming hamper with goodies! Beautiful rooms, with nice little touches incl. wifi! Good tips from David re the best way to get to Kew and the best Thai food (really!) in town! We prefer to stay at home in the evenings and cook something that we bought in one of the many delis or food markets in the city. It was very relaxing to come back to our flat after a great day sightseeing, put our feet up and open a bottle of white wine! Also, a Sainsburys is virtually just round the corner. We'll definitely be back!

Owner response:London is definitely a foodie heaven -- and we have our fair share of "food" on the door step from 2 Michelin stars, or the "3rd best gastro pub in London", trendy Pop up restaurants run by the Young Chef of the year 2010, to the less critically acclaimed but we think no less fabulous "locals" serving Thai, Indian, home cooked Italian, game, burgers, mexican or just great sushi -- and that's just for when your staying near home but don't feel like cooking ! Want to create your own banquet, light supper or picnic ?? the choice is staggering, we have a local hypermarket and a couple of great local delis - but the place to go is down Portobello - our local street market -- loads of fresh produce and different cuisines to tempt you, food stores, spanish supermarkets and delis, portugese, morroccan, Thai, wet fish, organic, finishing up with a huge boutique food department store ( not joking !!) - eat yourself silly !!! And then when your clothes no longer fit catch the London Overground 2 stops to Londons biggest and newest Shopping experience -- with over 300 stores under one roof !!! -- one persons heaven - anothers hell !!!
