My husband booked our London stay directly through Ivy Lettings. They were unbelievably helpful before the trip with information on the area, including maps and travel tips. Our arrival was delayed and Beatrice met us on her day off to deliver the keys and tell us about the apartment. She even delivered an extra set of keys on another day. Our family of 6 has been to London from California four times. This was the best personal service and the best accommodations ever! From now on, we will always use Ivy Lettings when we travel to London and will recommend them to our friends. The Barkston Gardens apartment is located in an absolutely beautiful, safe location with parks, trees and perfectly maintained buildings surrounding it. It is a huge, very quiet home that is decorated to perfection! I especially loved the way the kitchen was decorated, plus this lovely kitchen provided everything we needed for family breakfast each morning...along with a cozy garden view out the window. Everything else you need (groceries, tube, restaurants, nail salons, banks) is within a couple of blocks. The nearby tube has the District Line and the Piccadilly Line, which took us everywhere we needed to go within a very short amount of time.
