This is a cosy home with a classic design which could work as a fuss-free base in the city. Though it's a basement level home, the spaces feel generously sized. It's ideal if you are looking to be located in a peaceful spot of London and want to enjoy a neighbourhood with a family-friendly feel. Highlights include your proximity to the River Thames, which is perfect for wondering across to the gorgeous Battersea Park. We would bear in mind that the public transport links aren't the best here, and while you can walk to a station, there are no tube lines nearby.

Home truths

    This home is the basement level of a family home – while the family will be present upstairs, this home has its own private entrance so you won't be disturbed (although you may hear them from time to time)

    As the home is all on the basement level, there's very little natural light and no views

    This is a lived-in home so there will be some of the owner's personal clothing and possessions present

    The kitchen is very small, it doesn't have an oven or a dishwasher

    The bed in the second bedroom is a sofa bed, so its at the same level as the floor, and the comfort is probably best suited to shorter stays

    You will be provided with high-quality bed linens, a bath mat, bath towels and tea towels for the kitchen. Your host also provides shampoo, shower gel, and toilet paper at the beginning of your stay, but not throughout.
