Om overnatningsstedet

Charmerende Victorian House i Royal Greenwich med have, gratis parkering, gratis WiFi

  • Lev som en ægte Greenwich Londoner og nyde rolig landsby livet i den store travle by.

    Explorers 'Rest er en meget elsket og charmerende to-sengs victorianske hus (circa 1890), der sover seks i en comfy dobbeltseng og en komfortabel dobbelt køjeseng. yderligere to enkelt madrasser er også til brug på gulvet, hvis det er nødvendigt. En babys tremmeseng leveres også, sammen med en høj stol og sikkerhed gate for trappen. Velopdragne kæledyr er hjerteligt velkommen.

    Explorers 'Rest er blevet nænsomt parat til at hjælpe dig med at slappe af og slappe af efter din lange dage at udforske byen. Udstyret som en fuld familie hjem, bør Explorers 'Rest har alt hvad du behøver at være så behageligt i London som du ville være hjemme.

    Det er beliggende i Londons grønne bydel i Royal Greenwich, hvilket betyder både det centrale London og landskabet er inden for rækkevidde med bil eller offentlig transport.

    Efter en sjov dag på at udforske, kommer hjem til en stille victorianske kvarter og lukke døren for Londons stress og jag. Det er tid til at slappe af! Nyd en BBQ picnic i din egen private have, slappe af med en romantisk sættetid i karbad, gå en tur gennem de mange parker i alle retninger, hyggelig op af arbejdsgruppen pejse, nyde en bog fra en af ​​reoler, eller nyde en film fra omfattende DVD samling.

    Vores naboer er rolige og venlige. Butikker er bekvemt lige rundt om hjørnet. Den legeplads for enden af ​​gaden er en favorit hos børn. Parker strækker sig miles i alle retninger. Men bedst af alt, offentlig transport til alle Londons turist spots er lige uden for døren, bogstaveligt talt en 30 andet gåtur fra hoveddøren.

    Du behøver ikke en bil, hvis du ophold her. Der er et busstoppested rundt om hjørnet, og vi er kun 5-10 minutter med bus fra en større transport hub, der vil tage dig hurtigt i alle retninger ved hjælp af enten tog, bus, båd eller DLR (rør, der løber over jorden).

    Men hvis du har en bil, vil du nyde gratis parkering lige udenfor hoveddøren, som er ganske vanskeligt at finde i London.


    FAQ - Levnedsmidler:

    Der er en lille Costcutter (og bageri og slagteri) på hjørnet, mindre end et minut væk til fods. Der er også en Co-op en fem minutters gang væk langs parken. For endnu flere valg, er der en enorm Tesco Extra 6-10 minutter væk med bus i transport hub Woolwich Arsenal, at mine gæster bruger til at rejse ind i centrum af London.


    FAQ - Kom ind i centrum af London:

    Du skal blot få bussen (291) rundt om hjørnet. Det er cirka 30 sekunder væk til fods og kommer hver 10 minutter. Langs parken ved Co-op er der også to andre busser, der passerer (51 og 53), også ankommer hver 10 minutter.

    Alle tre af disse busser går til transport hub af Woolwich Arsenal i 6-10 minutter og slip du foran tog / DLR station. Her kan du få toget eller DLR. Toget er hurtig, men begivenhedsløs og DLR er ligesom Tube, men den bevæger sig over jorden (ofte over bygningerne), så du kan se byen, som du rejser. I begge tilfælde vil du være i centrum af London i 20-30 minutter, afhængigt af hvilken station, du ønsker. Uden at ændre, kan du nå disse stationer:


    På toget:

    - WATERLOO (for London Eye, Akvarium, Southbank, Big Ben, Westminster, Big Ben, # 10 Downing, Imperial War Museum, Tate Modern, Southbank Center)

    - Charing Cross (for Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Soho, West End, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, National Gallery, Oxford Street, Embankment, Savoy Hotel)

    - CANNON STREET (for London Bridge, St. Pauls, Shard, Millennium Bridge, Shakespeares Globe Theatre, Borough Market, HMS Belfast)


    PÅ DLR:

    - BANK (for St. Pauls Katedral, Leadenhall Market, Spittalfields Marked, Brick Lane, Fleet Street, finansielle distrikt, midt i byen mile)

    - Tower Gateway (for Tower Bridge, Tower of London, St. Katherine er Dock, Butlers Wharf)


    Ud over ovenstående, en af ​​de busser (53), der passerer mit hus går hele vejen til Westminster / Horse Guards Parade - men jeg kan ikke anbefale det til normal rejse (kun for oplevelsen) - for det tager ca. en på grund af trafikken og alle stoppesteder time. Fra Woolwich Arsenal, kan du også få Themsen Clipper båd, som er et konkret must på et god dag. Der findes også et væld af busser, som du kan få i Woolwich Arsenal, der vil tage dig overalt i forskellige retninger.


    BESØGER LANDSKABET / COAST / FRANKRIG:

    Der er nogle geniale kystområder at tjekke - alle inden for 60-90 min: Southend-on-Sea, Margate, Herne Bay, Ramsgate, Broadstairs (hjemsted for Charles Dickens) og Brighton. Du kan gøre en dagstur og dækker de fleste af disse i en (meget fuld) dag - eller slappe af i bare én, hvis du søger at slappe af.

    Kent landskabet (og ud) er også fuld af sjove steder at udforske og lidt tættere på end kysten ved 20-90 min væk. Mine anbefalinger er: Cambridge, Rochester, Canterbury, Rye, Sandwich (perfekt glemt i tid), Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks og Chilham (absolut sød og lille).

    Windsor, Winchester og Oxford er lidt længere væk (ca. to timer), men gennemførligt og det værd, hvis du er opsat på nogen af ​​dem.

    Frankrig er også meget let at få adgang til fra her for en dag eller weekend tur via Eurostar toget, færgen eller Eurotunnel (overfarter er lidt over en time fra Explorers 'Rest). Alle detaljer vil være i din velkomstpakke.

Perfekt für Urlaub mit Hund in London

Explorer's Rest bot alles - und mehr - was wir von einem Ferienhaus erwarten. Es fehlte an nichts. Alles war sauber, die Betten hochkomfortabel, Berge an Informationsmaterial und überhaupt viele nette Kleinigkeiten zum Entdecken. Unsere beiden Hunde liebten es, auf dem kleinen Rasenstück im Garten zu liegen oder in einem der naheliegenden Parks herumzutollen. Die Anreise in die City ist allerdings wirklich recht aufwendig, aber es hat alles gut geklappt. Die Busfahrt - natürlich oben, ganz vorn :-) - war ein Abenteuer. Wir sind dennoch meist lieber mit dem Auto gefahren, Parken am Rande der City-Maut-Zone ist zwar teuer, aber nicht unbezahlbar. Eines Abends fanden wir sogar einen kostenlosen Parkplatz direkt an der Tower Bridge. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, und wir empfehlen das Haus uneingeschränkt weiter.

Beautiful home, full of character!

This was our second stop on our 3 week tour of Ireland and the UK in March 2016. First off - Krista is simply AMAZING. She is a very genuine and caring person, and gladly helped us with our questions (we had SO many questions as this was our first time in London.) When we arrived she had a welcome basket with homemade treats, maps/brochures to EVERYTHING we would want to see and even a birthday banner and balloons (we were there on my birthday) and Easter surprise (my 4 year old LOVED the little Easter egg hunt she set up.) She is very meticulous about everything in the home; we had everything we needed to cook and had info about ANYTHING we could think of (near by stores, good eats, bus/train/underground maps etc.) You can tell that this home is a labor or love, it is beautifully decorated, updated and modern yet homey (toys, movies, reusable grocery bags, Oyster cards, not to mention a beautiful yard (British viewers, read: garden) If you get a chance, read the info/photo book about the history of the house and all they've done to it, it's very interesting. The house is just around the corner from a bus stop which was perfect for us - we used public transportation religiously! We never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a bus, train, or the underground (except when the Jubilee line went down... now that was an adventure.) It's close enough to the city center to not feel out of the loop but far enough away that it was a quiet retreat after a long day of sight-seeing. My only regret is that we didn't have a chance to meet Krista and her husband as we were overwhelmed with sight-seeing and had so many early (2am) days. We absolutely loved staying there, and if we ever got the chance to go back to London we would love to stay there again!

Clearly personal and heartfelt

We were on a month long odyssey of a trip and we started at Krista's place. It remains our favourite place. It is true it is a bit of hike from downtown London but the return "home" after the frenetic pace of central London helps you keep your sanity. We weren't there for one hour before my son said: "I don't know what it is but it really feels like home". The kitchen had everything I needed to cook decent meals and it saved us loads of money on meals. Krista clearly is very serious and thorough about ensuring your family has a great stay. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Cute place, far from London...

The house is well maintained and you can tell the owners put a lot of thought into making it comfortable for visitors. The special touches like a welcome basket with a note as well as taking the time to spread Easter eggs over the house (since it was Easter time) for the kids was very lovely. Just a note to those wanting to travel to London centre for the tourist attractions, this place is quite far away. It took us 2.5 hours just to get there from the airport (the Piccadilly line was closed and it was rush hour). It also took us a minimum of 53 minutes to get anywhere near London centre. With three exhausted kids after a day of sightseeing this was a bit frustrating. Downtown Royal Greenwich is also a 20 minute bus ride. The reviews about it being so close to everything is definitely misleading.

Home away from home

There are no words to describe how wonderful staying in this house was. Krista is an absolute GEM!! She is beyond helpful, beyond warm, beyond inviting, beyond everything! Her house was just perfect! Very clean, and peaceful after a long day of exploring the wonders of England. Krista is so detailed, she has notes for everything; how to work the radiator, the shower, the front door, labels for every product in the kitchen, the pantry, the bathroom, etc. Bottom line is - you will not go wrong with staying in this beautiful house. After meeting Krista and her husband, I feel I've made lifelong friends. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip! *If you're lucky, you might see a fox in the garden*

A perfect home

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely and well equipped house in Woolwich very much. We felt at home right from the beginning and we could recommend Explorers Rest without doubt. The house has is a real rest - and after a long day out in London or Greenwich you could hide and relax. Krista is a very friendly host and although she was not in Woolwich everything was perfectly arranged - very personal and so much helpful information about the house and the area around. We would definitely come back again. Very warm regards from Germany.

Alles, was das Herz begehrt

Wir haben dank Kristas perfekt eingerichtetem Haus und ihrer kompetenten und engagierten Betreuung (auch von weitem!) sehr schöne Tage in London verbracht. Man fühlt sich bei ihr eher wie in einer Wohnung von Freunden. Die Gastgeberin hat an alles gedacht. Die Ausstattung besticht durch fürsorgliche Grosszügigkeit (Beispiel: Schöne Handtücher liegen in grossen Mengen bereit, der Tee- und Cafévorrat ist aufgefüllt, ein kleiner Süssigkeitenkorb lockt die Naschkatzen, der Badezimmerschrank ist randvoll mit Toilettenpapier und Pflegeprodukten, im Schlafzimmerschrank warten wärmende Stoffpuschen auf die winterkalten Füsse der Gäste etc.) . Das Zentrum von London ist zwar nicht gerade um die Ecke, doch der gemütliche Vorstadtrhythmus und die bemerkenswert ruhige Strasse trugen viel zur Erholung nach turbulenten und anstrengenden Stunden in der City bei. Wir würden gerne im Sommer wiederkommen, um im supergepflegten kleinen Garten zu sitzen (Grill vorhanden!!!) und können diese Adresse ebenso wie die Gastgeberin nur wärmstens empfehlen! Sabine, David und Fona

Rest easy explorers!

I stayed at Explorers' Rest for two weeks starting at the end of January 2015. Let me first say, that I travel A LOT! I stay in hotels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals all over the U.S. and the world, so I've experienced the ups and downs of travel accommodations. For my first trip to England, I wanted to live like a local and not a tourist, but I wanted to also feel like I was living trendy and comfortably. Explorers' Rest embodies exactly what I wanted! The house is nestled in the friendly neighborhood of Plumbstead Commons inside Greenwich. The neighbors and locals are the nicest people, and you almost immediately feel like you're a treasured neighbor when you pass them on the street. The house itself, is efficiently arranged and meticulously designed. Within hours of staying, you fall right into the feeling that you've been living there for years and the house becomes more of a home to you then just some stay. It's eclectic for sure, but I imagine that anyone from a businessman to a family would find it ideal. Finally, and most importantly, is the owner, Krista. I've stayed at VRBOs before, and have had wonderful owners, but Krista treats you like a long-time friend! She arranges notes and directions for you all over the house to help you acquaint yourself with the surroundings. Not only that, but she's AMAZINGLY quick on the draw when it comes to e-mail correspondence, even going as far as to keep you up-to-date with the local news (while I was there, the buses and rail systems went on strike and she would tell me via e-mail from Sweden before I even knew myself!). My girlfriend joined me for the second week of my travel in the UK, and she too fell in love with the design and layout! So, if you're like me, and you're sitting there weighing your options on where you should stay (like I was) and you just can't make up your mind...let me help you...CHOOSE THIS ONE! I promise you, the only thing you'll have to worry about is dealing with your disappointment for leaving it at the end of your stay. Cheers!

Gemütliches Domizil mit individuellem Charme

Nun ist zwar schon ein halbes Jahr seit unserem Ferien-Aufenthalt in diesem besonderen Haus vergangen, aber wir blicken noch mit großer Begeisterung auf diese Zeit zurück. Wir (2 Erwachsene mit beiden Töchtern, 11 und fast 14 Jahre) waren für knapp 2 Wochen in London, mit der Absicht, nicht nur als "klassischer Tourist" die City zu erleben, sondern auch etwas vom Alltag um London herum zu erfahren. Das ist uns mit der Buchung dieses Domizils gelungen. Nach dem Frühstück im sonnigen Garten oder in der kleinen gemütlichen Küche (hier hat es wirklich an nichts gefehlt!), fuhren wir mit den "Einheimischen" in die Stadt hinein, ließen uns hier von der unendlichen Vielfalt dieser einmaligen Stadt beeindrucken und freuten uns abends auf unser kleines Zuhause außerhalb der Stadtgrenze. Dafür nahmen wir auch die Wegzeiten in Kauf. Die Randlage bot den Vorteil, auch schneller die Sehenswürdigkeiten außerhalb Londons und insbesondere von Greenwich erreichen zu können. Das besondere Highlight war die persönliche Begegnung mit unseren Vermietern Krista und Erik, mit denen wir einensehr netten und unterhaltsamen Abend verbringen konnten. Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub in einem schönen Heim! Vera und Enrique K.

Ferienhaus zum Wohlfühlen

Dieses liebevoll und fürsorglich eingerichtete Haus hat unseren 5 Tage Aufenthalt in London gekrönt. Wir sind zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder (15 und 13) und alle haben sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist in der Küche an alles gedacht, die Betten sind sehr bequem. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt und nach einem mehrstündigem Aufenthalt im Touristenzentrum war es für uns genau das Richtige nach Greenwich zu fahren und uns wie zuhause fühlen zu können. Alle Beschreibungen über die Wege ins Zentrum und nach Greenwich stimmen genau und der Service mit der Oystercard ist super. Krista war immer ansprechbar und wir hatten das Gefühl in allen Dingen bestens aufgehoben zu sein. Es war für uns eine tolle Erfahrung, dass es Menschen gibt, die so viel positive Energie in ein Heim/Haus investieren und dieses dann anderen Menschen zur Verfügung stellen, vielen Dank dafür.

cosy and well appointed

We had a lovely stay at Explorers Rest. It is a very well appointed house with everything you could need and lots of advice/instructions available from the owner. All our dealings with Krista were business like but very friendly and always prompt. We loved our stay.

Home away from home

Explorers rest was a perfect home away from home for my family. I am so glad we found this place! Krista was so nice and easy to work with. She was thorough and fast and went over and beyond in answering my questions, from our first correspondence to the last. After we arrived, we could tell that Krista put a lot of time and effort into this property to make it a comfortable and relaxing home away from home for her guests. The property was very clean (inside and out), well maintained and the neighborhood felt safe. The beds were very comfortable and the shower and amenities were wonderful. The kitchen was set up to make it very easy to cook meals. We enjoyed the tranquility explorers rest provided after a long day out in London. The public transportation was easy to navigate and there were a couple of shops close by for basics. We truly enjoyed our stay at explorers rest and would stay again.

Home away from home

If you are like me and deciding between a couple of properties with a family, go no further and choose this apartment! We are a family of 5 (with 3 teens) and we had our own room and the kids had their room with a double bed to share and the eldest had a mattress. The instructions Krista gave were so great when arriving into a city you don't know, we followed them very closely. It took us 1.5 hours to get here in rush hour traffic from Heathrow on the tubes and then a 10 minute bus to the place in Greenwich. Entry was seamless with a key code given to us via email. This apartment was like a home away from home, there was everything you needed, washing machine, dryer, hair dryer, full kitchen with a lovely selection of teas and coffee, some lovely soap and body sprays etc. It is on a quiet street and only 3 minutes walk to a shop that sells milk and other essentials. There is a larger shopping centre 2 bus stops away (about 5 min by bus). The Woolwich Arsenal train station has connections to the DLR and underground and is a 10 minute bus ride away. I also noted there was free parking for a car out on the street if you needed it. The house was also decorated for Christmas which the kids loved, its all these little touches that make this a home away from home.

The Perfect Way To Spend A London Holiday!

If you’re looking for a welcoming home to stay at during your London Holiday, look no further. As travelers who prefer to immerse ourselves in the culture we visit, Explorer’s Rest was the perfect place to stay during our travels in London. This lovely home—situated in a charming neighborhood in Greenwich—provides travelers with the care and comfort of a relaxing and beautiful Victorian flat. Explorer’s Rest itself is lovely and enchanting. Throughout the picturesque home, we found helpful books, notebooks, and pamphlets on how to travel around London, as well as information on where to eat, shop, and explore the city. Additionally, small labels are located around the flat, which permitted us to navigate throughout the house easily. Books, DVD’s, and televisions filled the home, which enabled us to relax and enjoy our surroundings—especially after a busy day in London! Staying at Explorer’s Rest allowed us to spend quality time together. As we reflected on our adventures in the city, we enjoyed a nice meal, and a relaxing cup of tea around the kitchen table. Furthermore, Krista’s kindness and wealth of knowledge is what truly made our journey to London special. One could not ask for a better place.

Super Fereinwhg. mit Liebe zum Detail

Wir waren mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern (9 und 12) hier. Eine superschöne Whg., die sehr liebevoll eingerichtet ist. Es wurde wirklich an alles gedacht! Es gibt außerordentlich viel Infomaterial über London, Verkehr, Verbindungen, Ausflüge - unglaublich viel Mühe steckt darin. Die Zimmer sind super gemütlich, die Küche und Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Kontaktaufnahme zur Vermieterin locker und unkompliziert, über Internet immer erreichbar. Sehr nett! Da das Wetter sehr kalt war, konnten wir den schönen Garten leider nicht benutzen. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen, denn es war noch gemütlicher als beschrieben und alles sehr persönlich. Jederzeit wieder und noch mal vielen herzlichen Dank an Krista! Bettina Wallmeyer und Familie!

A place like home

We convey you glad tidings About a beautiful country, In that on my trip We found a special place. Old indeed, but reborn, It holds explorers rest. You open the door To a different world. No noise anymore Midst the global city, But softly scented air Envelops you. All kinds of furniture And decoration are Lovingly combined. The way through the house Is worth a journey for itself. Again and again lovely things Are discovered On every step. And not to forget: I’d never slept Better in my life Than in this bed. Kitchen and bathroom - You’ll never miss anything, If you stay for a short Or a longer time. The pretty garden and Outside the near park, Our dog was so happy As he were at home. In a few days You can’t see all. But now we know a place like home To come back to for the next time. ------------------------------------- A million times thank you, Krista, for everything you did for the house and especially for us! Love Andrea and family We stayed at Explorers Rest from 2011/09/02 till 2011/09/08

A home away from home!

Explorer's rest proved to be a great base for our London holiday, it felt like staying in a real home with all the comforts and atmosphere of being at home. Krista made us feel extremely welcome with everything from a welcome basket of goodies to a detailed manual outlining everything we could possibly need to know about the house and our stay in London. The house has been wonderfully renovated making great use of available space which in Victorian terrace houses is an impressive feat. While being away from the centre of London, the area is well serviced by public transport with ready access to buses going into London and a very short trip to the DLR. Because we were staying for a month and planning a lot of exploring we bought a monthly transport card but Krista has provided oyster cards for guests to use, you just have to top up the cards. There is a handy local shop for essentials and it is only a short trip to Woolwich for the market or a Tescos that has everything you could possibly need. The common is just around the corner and my daughter and her friend particularly enjoyed seeing foxes on the common and in the neighbourhood. If we were visiting in warmer weather I am sure we would have made use of the lovely little back garden at Explorer’s rest, which is an added bonus. We stayed in December, so a particularly cold time of year but Explorer’s rest was such a cosy place to return home to each night. The fireplaces were an extra bonus but not necessary for heating just nice for the extra atmosphere. Krista even provided Christmas decorations for our Christmas stay. Joanna who came and cleaned once a week during our stay did an amazing job, making the house always feel cosy, comfortable and welcoming. All in all Explorer’s Rest proved a great base for an extended London visit, with all the comforts of a home away from home and Krista made us feel incredibly welcome and provided us with all the information and tools for a great London visit. The only downside is that is possibly not the right place to stay if you want really quick access to all the central attractions but if you don't mind using the public transport it can make for a relaxing visit. Trips into horse guards on the 53 bus provided a relaxing trip into the city and the bus also stops right in front of the imperial war museum. The DLR and the tube were great for quicker trips. With the DLR being overground it also provided another way of just seeing more of London.

Amazing stay in London area!

My husband and I stayed in this wonderful home for a week. Every detail was just like in the pictures- from the lovely garden to the space saving kitchen to the artfully finished bedrooms. What the pictures cannot tell you is that Krista is a fantastic host! She has everything in her home labelled for ease of use; binders of maps and information; movies to watch and cd's to listen to- and Oyster cards to help us get on the train and tube! No hotel would ever do so much. The area around this home is convenient and the people are friendly. Greenwich itself was beautiful to explore and London was about a 20-30 minute transit trip away. This is the 4th time we have booked a "home away" spot- they were all great but Krista's attention to comfort, care and convenience makes this our #1 choice! Bravo- and can't wait to return!

Truly Amazing Holiday Rental

I travelled here on my first international trip and am truly delighted that we chose this location. Krista is more than acommodating, the house is exquisite, and the location is fantastic. From the first email she helped my friend and I with the trip and was extremely prompt in her replies. The house has all the ammenities that you need when renting a home. I was able to cook full meals here in comfort and felt like it was home when staying here. The beds are comfortable and the house is wonderfully decorated. The location is safe and near public transportation making it very easy to navigate to London's city centre. There is a quaint pub and a local market around the corner as well. This house and Krista are truly a delight, and I look forward to staying here again upon another trip to London!

Perfect spot to explore London

Explorer's rest is the perfect spot to explore London and the Greater London Area. Situated in a quiet Victorian neighbourhood in Greenwich, it might seem a bit far from London's tourist attractions at first. But apart from the fact that Explorer's rest has a lot to offer in itself, it isn't actually that far from the city centre. Only a 2 min. walk to a bus-stop, then a 10 min. busride gets you to Woolwhich Arsenal, a transport hub from where you can take a train or the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) into London. And that is only a 20 min. ride, with lots to be seen along the way. The house itself isn't vey large but it's perfectly charming and extremely well kept. It sleeps 4 persons very comfortable (we were with 4: two adults and 2 15-year olds). Krita Vesey is a generous host. Lots of things are provided: books and dvd's (there are 2 televion sets with dvd-players), cd's, and there is a more than generously equipped kitchen. And another very large plus: we found it very interesting indeed to live for a week among average Londoners, in stead of just mingling with the tourist-folk. Near to the house are some convenient shops like a bakery and a grocery. A well-stocked supermarket is only a 5 min. walk away. The is also a pub closeby, as well as a nice park. Imagine travelling into London, seeing all the sights and doing everything else Londonish and after that just go home and make yourself a quiet dinner in stead of having to hunt half the evening for a decent restaurant! We will certainly return, and recommend Traveler's Rest to all that are looking for an unusual way to explore London.

Actually six stars would be necessary here

If you ever plan to visit London, you must stay at the Explorer's Rest. It's the ideal place for young or old couples or families with small children or with teenagers or groups of friends or just everybody. The pretty house is located in a nice street in a quiet area and was extraordinarily clean when we arrived. Everything is small and cosy. You've got two floors, with two separate bedrooms; and, if you want, you can also put an extra bed. Though the two people sleeping in the two double-beds should be well acquainted in each case since they are not very big/wide - but really beautiful. The whole house it very neatly furnished with a lot of taste and dedication. You will find everything you need in the kitchen; besides there is a dishwasher and a washing machine; and don't forget the cute garden! In the living room the London explorer can rest near a fireplace in the evening. We left our car parked in front of the house the whole week and went by bus, tube or train to all the sights. In the nearby surroundings one can find a bakery and all other kinds of shops but also restaurants to go to within walking distance. The owner has provided with an abundance of information in order to be able to explore London and its surroundings in the most extensive way possible. We can highly recommend this Home.

Wonderful place to stay in South London

Dear Krista, Last July, we had a wonderful holiday at your place. We stayed two weeks with our two very young children (2 and 5 years old), and we all loved your house ! Everything was perfect : the house was very clean and so well fitting ! We had the feeling to be "at home", and now our children are asking us to come back in Greenwich !! It was also a good area to be : it was easy to travel to central london as well as to the south and the countryside. (free car park in the street in front of the house !) We would like to recommend your place and would like to thank you for your welcome and your help during our stay. :-) Next time we will stay in London, we will come back to your wonderful explorer's rest !! Thank's from us four ! Yanouchka, Luca, Emma and Noam from Switzerland, Geneva

super séjour

Krista, Nous avons passé quelques jours dans cette charmante maison très bien aménagée et décorée avec beaucoup de gout. Il ne manquait absolument rien et on s'est senti comme chez nous. Literie, draps etc.. impeccables et confortables De plus Krista est passée nous rendre visite à notre arrivée pour vérifier que tout était conforme à nos attentes. Londres est à 1 h de bus (notre choix de transport), l'arret le plus proche est à quelques mètres. Quartier calme, quelques commerces (suffisants).
