This is a wonderful house in an interesting neighborhood, separate from the crowds of the central city, but only a modest walk or short bus or tube or cab ride away from everything. It's separated from the street by a small front yard, and has a very large, shady, attractive back yard with a lawn, many trees and bushes (some flowering), and a fig tree full of fruit. Great place to sit around the large table with a cold beer after a day of sight seeing. And the little shop next door is stocked with beer, wine, and an amazingly complete set of what a renter needs, except fresh meats -- you need to walk for those, less than half a mile to a Tesco Express or Saintsbury Local. (Those are a long way from suburban American super markets, but we found them adequate.)
We were 13 people in four nuclear families and had plenty of space. The many rooms are beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds, and are reasonably well ventilated through the windows; no screens on the windows, but we had no problems with bugs in midsummer. The two large living rooms have lots of space and comfortable couches. The bathrooms have totally modern fixtures and are well stocked with towels, toiletries and TP.
The kitchen has a huge stove with sufficient pots and pans, cutting boards, cooking tools, and a huge selection of dishes, flatware, and glassware. We cooked quite a few meals there and were quite satisifed. The dishwasher and microwave worked well. The two Nespresso machines were new to us (heavy drinkers of American coffee), but we bought some Nespresso pods on line and brought them to London with us and were quite satisfied with the result. The huge table in the bottom-floor living room accommodated the 13 of us easily.
Damian's local representative, Caroline, gave us her cell number and met us at the house to show us around. She was available by phone or text if we had any complaints or problems, but we had none. The internet worked fine in the house, though the wifi was weak in some rooms
