Happy holidays

Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at this charming townhouse in London early this month in July and found it to be all that we wanted it to be. Everything was well presented, we had documented information on local restaurants and the various travel options around town. Christine was very helpful and getting there was very easy with her directions. The welcome pack included foods for our children which was much appreciated.
We enjoyed most of the sights and have to return to complete the job as there is simply so much to explore. Certainly we would be like to return to "Riverside" as it represents an easy, comfortable and quiet location plus very good value for our money. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Had everything we needed.

Review Submitted: October 31, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Hi Christine
Had a great visit, we found your property had everything needed and was positioned well for the transport etc without being too noisy. The Gun was hard to faault for meals but you do have the " river walk" to walk it off after. Would recommend your place to any of our friends in future that are coming to London. By the way loved the view which is great for photographic buffs.

The best 1st trip out of the U.S.

Review Submitted: October 20, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
The trip my parents and I had to London as unforgettable. I chose to rent this home and it was the best location. Not too far away from the "busy" area, but just far enough and calm enough. The view was amazing from all floors, the cleanliness, organization of information for new-comers, and lay-out was beyond amazing. There was s much helpful information there, it was ike I had lived in Canary Wharf for years. The weather was gorgeous for us to do our tourist thing, and the "tube" maps and eatery suggestions given by Christine were also helpful. It was fun to talk to the neighbors and be able to st in the courtyard outside the townhouse. My parents and I enjoyed all the main attractions, as well as some of the little pubs. We enjoyed walking the dock and seeing the dinners on the water. I suggest to anyone to take the river tour, walk the westminister area, and make your way to picadilly circus for entertainment. Always remember to keep your Oyster Card on you, becausI believe th tube train is the best way of transportation. This was also in my notes from Christine. I was so surprised at how many things were organized for us, it was remarkable how much a person took the care and consideration to set up books fortheir visitors. I would go back again. . definitely. Thank yo again for the stay. . my parents will always remember their 1st trip out of th U.S.

Spectacular London Townhouse on the River Thames

Review Submitted: September 6, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Hi Christine,

Now we are again at home and remember the nice holidays in her domicile.

I have delivered in German this text as an assessment:
The summer cottage corresponded completely to the description with very good equipment, a dreamlike situation on the Thames, short ways to the underground and DRL. We have spent with 2 adults and 4 teenagers great days in London and will recommend the "Riverside"with pleasure.

Thank you very much
Elke

Lovely house, a great place to explore London!

Review Submitted: April 29, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
We stayed in this house at Easter this year for a week, two adults and three teenagers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay: the house has all that is needed to make your stay comfortable, it was very clean and well-maintained. The view over the river is phantastic. We had real troubkle getting out of the house in the morning - it was just too tempting to sit in the lounge, sip a coffee and watch the boats go by... the house is also very conveniently located to explore London by public transport: 12-15 min walk from Canary Wharf with its restaurants and cafés and shopping (and where you can catch the Jubilee line, which is what we usualy did). The DLR station is even nearer (8-10 min), and for those who really don't want to walk, there is a bus stop almost in front of the house. Costs for transport are also limited as the house is located in Zone 2. Booking and arrival/departure arrangements wre very smooth - thank you, Christine! The owner also provides a lot of information material on attractions, restaurants, etc. which is very handy. In short: highly recommended - we will be back! Nb: don't miss the great food at the Gastro-Pub "The Gun", which is just a 10 min walk from the house.
