We had a really good stay. The house is extraordinary clean and tidy. The owner is very helpful and friendly, he prepared very helpful written information and when questions arise he is very happy to help you. We can absolutely recommend this place, from where you can easily and quickly reach London city centre with public transport.

Great little house

We stayed here on two separate occassions during our trip to the UK. Paolo was very accomodating and easy to deal with. Communication was fantastic and unit was as described. Location wasn't an issue due to the fantastic bus system in London. Had a couple of small issues that Paolo got fixed straight away, very happy with our selection.

Excellent place in Thamesmead

This house is really a lovely place to stay. The landlord is friendly and helpful, the house is clean and has got everything you need for your stay. The quietness of this place is a huge contrast to the constant London noise and activity. However, using public transport the City of London is less than an hour away. My daughter asked me on departure if I could buy this house as she liked it so much. A better compliment does not come to my mind. This accommodation is most recommended. Thank you!

Very kind host and everything's like you see it on the pictures

The house is a nice and small British one with everything you need. It's decorated and you feel like being at someone's home. Paolo is very kind and you can write or call him anytime. He always answers in short time and wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The bus station is only a few minutes away, grocery stores can be reached by bus from there and you'll be in the city in 45-60 minutes. Around the house there are many parks you should visit and hang out or go to the Themse to take a long walk at the river. All in all it was a pleasure to stay there and everybody enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Paolo for being a stunning host.

Comfortable & Clean

We really enjoyed our week in this Thamesmead town house. Our host Paolo, gave us a warm welcome and showed us what we needed to know about the property. He responded to all of our inquiries immediately, both before and during our stay. The house had everything we needed for a home base as we travelled to and from central London each day. Close to a bus stop, a short ride to the rail service that brought us into the city in approx. 1/2 hr. The beds were comfortable in the 3 bedrooms that could comfortably accommodate 5 adults. The kitchen was fully equipped with newer appliances, including a washer and dryer and all kinds of cooking utensils. It was very nice to have the space and comfort of a home-like atmosphere to retreat to after long days of sight seeing. We would highly recommend this place.

Een rustige locatie, weg uit de drukte. De Thames is dichtbij waar je langs kunt wandelen. Supermarkt kan je het best bezoeken als je terug komt uit het centrum, op de voorlaatste halte met de bus (SL11).De eigenaar is aardig en behulpzaam.

Nicht wie erwartet...

Wir waren zu 5 (2 Erwachsene+3 Teenager) für eine Woche im Juli da. Meiner Meinung nach: Der Check-In war unkompliziert. Nach vorheriger Absprache, konnten wir auch früher ins Haus. Das haus ist bereits sehr betagt und könnte einige Reparaturen gebrauchen. Das Sofa verschlingt einen und der Teppich auf der Treppe und oben ist eklig. Der Durchlauferhitzer macht höllischen Lärm. Der Garten hat bestimmt auch schon mal besser ausgesehen. Es ist zwar für 6 Personen alles da, aber mehr auch nicht. Geschirr ist abgezählt und zusammengewürfelt. Spülmaschiene fehlt, das war aber nicht schlimm. Das sind nur ein paar Beispiele. Die Umgebung ist okay. Es gibt einen schönen Pfad an der Themse entlang und zum Einkaufen ist es nicht weit. Wir sind mit dem Uberboat in die City gefahren was wirklich toll war. Für die Summe was bezahlt wird, haben wir schon weitaus bessere Unterkünfte gehabt und würden hierher nicht wieder kommen.

Schöne Unterkunft mit guter Busanbindung

Die Absprachen vor der Reise haben gut funktioniert. Der Check-In erfolgte persönlich und zur vereinbarten Zeit. Das Haus war für uns 6 Personen 2 Erw. + 4 Kinder gerade ausreichend. Es war alles da, was man braucht. Wir hätten uns nur zusätzlich einen Geschirrspüler gewünscht. In der Küche war der Rauchmelder sehr sensibel, sodass wir zwei Fehlalarme hatten. Die Busanbindung an Bahn und U-Bahn war hervorragend. Man braucht ca. 1 Stunde bis in die City. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

About the host

Hosted by Paolo Mellors Puccinelli

Host profile image
I work in Central London and have lived in the area for the past 23 years and live locally, just a few minutes walk away. Always happy to assist to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Why they chose this property

I love the open spaces and leafy surroundings, and how the house backs onto a protected nature reservation, with a nearby pond with nesting Herons. The proximity to London and Kent, "the garden of England" has also been a draw. Travel is convenient whether using a car or public transport. The house was built in about 1989, by Declan Kelly Homes, and is well insulated and warm.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable living room, perfect for family or friends. Tranquil protected Woodland outlook to the rear, ideal for enjoying the garden.
We provide Holy bibles in every bedroom.
