Beautiful Battersea Park home

“The flat is great – feels fresh and is well decorated. You can appreciate that someone with good taste owns the place. It’s located closely to Hammersmith tube station from which you can access all of London through the outstanding network of tube lines available there, hence exploring London is very easy. The flat itself is located in a nice, exclusive development; the oasis you are in allows you to appreciate your surroundings, whist away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would highly recommend for couples or individual travellers, as a great choice in London! We’ll be returning soon :)”

“Truly the cleanest place we have ever stayed and we travel a lot! Great for families and well laid out kitchen. Very spacious. UnderTheDoormat was super responsive and very accommodating.”

‘This is the PERFECT London flat: spacious, great location, amazing value. The apartment was spotless when we arrived, kitchen was well-equipped, the terrace was perfect when the sun was shining (which was surprisingly often during our trip). There is a small elevator that comes in handy when bring you luggage up and down. Hands down the most comfortable couch I’ve ever sat on — excellent for relaxing after a long day of exploring and shopping. The Under the Doormat team is incredible. All the details are communicating before you arrive, checkin was seamless, and they are great about getting back to you if you have any questions. Can’t wait to stay again next time I’m in London!’

Amazing amazing amazing location and place. Secluded enough from the hustle and bustle of brixton but also in the middle of it all. Felt so at home with my family here. Would highly recommend. Brixton village just round the corner and all the bars and restaurants your heart desires. The underthedoormat team were great and punctual.

“The team at Under the Doormat were awesome, they met us on arrival took time to introduce us tothe apartment and acquaint us with the local area. They were very receptive with their communication during our stay and nothing was too much trouble, thanks team very professional and made us feel very welcome. Awesome apartment very clean and a super location. With this great attitude you will be very successful. Thanks again. Best Lloyd ”

Lovely apartment and great service from UnderTheDoormat. We would do it again! Thank you.

The apartment was located in a great part of London. It was spacious and looked just like the pictures on Airbnb. The host was on time to let us in. It was well stocked with needed supplies. The only issue we had was that the elevator/lift was very loud in the master bedroom.

Très bonne entente avec l’équipe UnderTheDoormat, et appartement propre et tout à fait conforme à la description, dans un immeuble moderne et bien tenu. Très sympa à Londres de pouvoir ouvrir les fenêtres sans souci de pollution, et de pouvoir descendre au pub/resto à côté. L’accueil et le service. Rajouter une petite table à café dans le séjour, et un petit tapis coloré pour l’ambiance.

Ospite professionale. Annuncio preciso e sincero. In ottima zona fuori dal caotico centro ma raggiungibile in qualche minuto. Accoglienza calda e puntuale con gradite attenzioni. Da ripetere.

The stay in this flat was absolutely satisfying. Lovely bright space. The team of UnderTheDoormat were very professional and answered any questions I had quickly. I recommend!

I had a wonderful stay using UnderTheDoormat service. Everything was flawless and I would definitely stay with them again. They promptly arrived for the check in and check out. I wasn’t totally sure how to use the heating, although everything was described in the House Guide, I just didn’t get a chance to read it with all the touring that I was doing. So when I wrote a message online, they personally came by to help me that same evening, and it was a Sunday evening! The apartment was absolutely spotless and everything was in perfect working order. I just can’t say enough about the wonderful experience.

What a lovely way to experience Richmond! We loved the flat for its location, huge open plan kitchen, dining and living area and conservatory-style glass ceiling – abundant light during daytime and stargazing at night. The Under The Doormat crew were wonderful to deal with – responsive and accommodating. Definitely a winner.

Great place and UnderTheDoormat were very accommodating. Would definitely do this again! Convenient location, close to the station and the flat is very charming. It was a perfect fit! Suggestion to allow for some ventilation, especially in the bathrooms and some curtains in the dining room would be great. Otherwise nothing much to improve! Difficult to find and the entrance is quite dark. Brixton is a great location though!

Lovely location and clean and beautiful apartment.

Our hosts (Under The Doormat team who manages the homeowners apt) made my family (my parents, my husband and I) feel very welcome. They were helpful with any questions we had before our trip and were exceptionally helpful when it came to our arrival and departure. Under The Doormat team did an excellent job providing directions on how to find the apartment; which would have otherwise been challenging- the door to the space is not an obvious or well marked area. Nuria was there to greet my parents when they arrived. She walked them through the apt showing where things were & how things worked. She provided an excellent description of the area, great recommendations on where to eat and information about the fabulous Brixton markets & shops. The listing for “Trendy Brixton Garden Oasis” was accurately described. Brixton is an urban, up-in-coming, Caribbean influenced district, just outside London proper. The pictures on the site accurately reflect the calm, comfortable home of well-traveled homeowners. Our family has decided based on living in Jon and Simon’s space for a number of days, that these two individuals would be very interesting people. I could easily imagine our families sipping tea from their own personally grown Indonesian tea farm. Later transitioning to wine, we would sit outside in their garden, courtyard patio; having to then ask the question, how did one manage a chicken coup with chickens here? I imagine we would love hearing about their various stories and adventures, as reflected throughout their home in treasures hung on their walls and hints of travels past, or maybe of future plans, as evidenced by the many travel books neatly stacked along the shelf. Before scheduling our first airbnb (ever), I met a lovely UK couple on one of my many Chicago business trips. They recommended staying outside of London proper due to higher London costs, and said frankly the people are friendlier, very welcoming, and promised our new favorite pub would be “just a stones throw”. They were highly encouraging regarding my ideas of booking with airbnb. They were right on in all accounts, because we had a wonderful time! Closing comments for future travelers: Brixton is an up-in-coming trendy, urban city. There are wonderful Caribbean influences everywhere! However, for those not into urban scenes (homeless, active drug use, late night music) this may not be the place for you. Our first night, we arrived around midnight. It is a short walk, maybe two blocks from the tube to the apt. On our way to the apt, a woman walked up to my husband asking for money, was very persistent and proceeded to pull on his arm. Having lived in downtown Detroit, I was a little taken aback by this woman’s actions- however we only experienced this on one occasion. Other evenings that we were out and about we found the streets to be active with people and police patrolling. As those that have traveled before are familiar, just use common sense.

If you are hesitating about this place don’t! Its amazing! I’ve had friends stay here twice now and they loved every minute of it. The flat is within a gated area so you feel super safe and the property supervisors go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The decoration in the flat makes you feel at home and makes this place different from any hotel I’ve stayed at. The underground station is 2 mins walk away shops too. I recommend this place highly! A+

This apartment was great! UnderTheDoormat was very easy and efficient to work with, they accommodated my early check in/check out times and had someone there to personally greet me at check in and when I left. The only thing that was a little inconvenient is having to pay extra for early check out, but ce la vie. The location of this apartment is AWESOME. It is literally steps away from one of the major transport hubs in London, so it’s super easy to hop on the bus, tube, or overground train. Also, the river views are great. You can walk along the river Thames to central London in less than 45 minutes. There are also a number of restaurants, shops etc in the apartment complex which make it easy to grab something quick if you need. Would definitely recommend this apt and stay here again!

Merilee and her team did a great job making this a welcoming place to stay during my time in London. The flat was clean and as just as described, with lots of lovely light and the garden was very charming. I had everything I needed for my stay and the internet connection was quite good. I had no problems at all during my stay here. Being new to the area, the recommendations on places to go, nearest supermarkets, and even nearby gyms that Merilee provided were extremely helpful and made my stay very easy. I highly recommend booking with Under the Doormat for your next trip to London.

Nice flat and nice district! Everything was perfect during our stay, we would come back for sure.

The host was very helpful. The flat was lovely and the location was really perfect for walks along the Thames.

Great communication with the hosts who did everything possible to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Very nice home with plenty of room! Nice neighborhood location along the River Thames. A little distant to central London with all the tourist attraction, however you can take a quick bus or tube ride to Big Bus Tour and hop on which will take you throughout the city where you can hop on and off. Very easy and convenient.

Apartment was lovely and very comfortable – we were more than happy to stay there and enjoyed the few days we were there. All is as advertised. The team from Under the Doormat were very professional and great – extremely responsive and very helpful and went out of they way to accommodate us and help at very short notice.

Had a lovely stay at this beautiful apartment over the Christmas period. The location was perfect as we were spending Christmas with family nearby. The apartment is high spec with access to a garden, fitness area & pool/ spa. Three of us stayed in this two bed/ two bath property with plenty of space. Merilee met with me and gave a tour of the complex, she also clearly has good local knowledge which is helpful if you’re not familiar with the area. Overall we had a really good experience with Merilee, Nuria & Underthedoormat, so I would recommend them & use their services again. The mince pies were a lovely festive touch!

Nuria and Merilee were both fantastic. They went above and beyond to make this rental experience one I won’t soon forget. The piano is now refurbished and tuned, which was a delight to play after a long day of touring London. The internet worked great first-time and was plenty fast enough to work remotely to the US. The owner has quite the selection of spices, including many organic, which was a nice bonus surprise. There were plenty of dishes to cook and eat with. The neighborhood is upper-class and quite friendly. There are great restaurants and grocery stores just a block away, and the “underground” (“subway” for us Americans) is just a short walk away. The hosts left a few recommended places to eat and shop, which was quite helpful. The whole house is tidy and has great energy. There were fresh towels on the (quite comfortable) bed waiting for me when I arrived, as well as plenty of hangers in the closet. There was even a battery charger and foreign power adapter for use. Bravo for thinking outside the box! The washer/dryer unit worked great. However, be warned the combo, high-efficiency units in Europe take FOREVER to wash and then dry your clothes completely. (I had the same experience in Rome.) If you need to wash some clothes before you move on to your next destination, leave yourself at least 3 hours per load. Overall the experience was fantastic and I would rent again in a heartbeat the next time I return to London.

Anette’s place is charming and wonderful. It is exactly like the pictures and has so many lovely touches. It has everything you might need for a weekend getaway or a refreshing change to staying in a hotel for a business trip. We loved the antique shops on the road and all the restaurants that were recommended in the detailed guide provided by UnderTheDoormat. Our favorite was the Fulham Wine rooms where you could sample different wines before selecting a glass- so cool. Fulham was a wonderful location to explore London and the buses outside of the flat took us right to everything from the museums in South Kensington to Hyde Park and Oxford Street. Merilee and Nuria were so helpful and answered all of our questions- a great set of hosts and we will plan on staying in one of their places on our next visit for sure! Thank you!

Had a great time staying the apartment i have nothing but positive things to say about my hosts. The area was great and i really enjoyed their advice on restaurants.

Thank you for being amazing and helping me to organise a wonderful stay for my newly married friends in this beautiful apartment. Your friendliness, flexibility, punctuality and communication made this part of organising the wedding a breeze. The flat was lovely, just as described. Thanks again!

We stayed in the property for 12 nights and three of us enjoyed our stay very much.

The property is conveniently serviced by buses. Bus route no 266 runs to and from the Hammersmith tube station. The journey takes about 5-8 minutes and the bus comes every 8-10 minutes with the stop just few steps on the road.

The property is very homey and is exactly as what it is pictured. The kitchen is amazing, with full range of Le Creuset cookwares. There are plenty of tablewares too. There are sky windows in the library and bathroom.

It is located in a pure residential area. There are Tesco, Sainsbury, Co-op and many other small shops nearby. Ginger Pig, the premium butcher also with presence in Borough Market, is just a minute by walk. A bakery is just next door opposite. You can get everything you need for your daily life, making it really like a home away from home.

Merilee and Nuria are extremely nice and helpful. We came up with a problem which was then sorted out well by them (Merilee / Nuria, thanks a lot for your efforts). We could feel they have managed their properties very well, not competing for price but by offering something PLUS.

We are planning to come back next year and will likely stay in properties managed by UnderTheDoormat.
