Read More...We had the most wonderful stay in Amanda and Stephens home in Clapham. The house was everything we had hoped for - sparkling clean with lots of space for 6 adults/teens, easy to find, nice and quiet in the evening and we felt very welcome. We loved to have the huge park area and 24h bus service to central London just at the end of the street. Add to this, shops, pubs and the tube all in walking distance, all of this made exploring London very easy for us. Clapham is lovely, and we would have loved to get to know the area even better than we did. We can definitely recommend Amanda and Stephens home for a London visit!

Read More...We had a wonderful stay. The house was in perfect conditions, clean, neat and with everything needed in each place. The information they left was very complete and useful. The welcome was very warm, because Amanda prepared a delicious dinner to avoid having to go out or prepare food upon arrival. They gave us great confidence to use anything we needed at every moment, and that is why we felt very comfortable, as if we were at our own home!. William, the son, shared with our kids his loved toys. The neighborhood is beautiful, very quiet and well connected to visit London comfortably.

We felt quite at home, and the children loved all the toys in the child's bedroom! We also had the pleasure of meeting Amanda, Stephen and William when they came in France. A really wonderful exchange!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are currently having building work done on our house, so are only open to house swaps from September 2024.
• A lovely, traditional, Victorian house is on a quiet residential street moments from Clapham Common.
• It has four bedrooms (three bedrooms with double beds and a child's room with a single bed) and three bathrooms (including one en-suite)
• Downstairs there is an eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, sitting room and patio garden with BBQ and table and chairs. Our dining room table sits eight and is great for having family dinners.
• Our garden is great in the summer for sitting out and having lunch or a BBQ in the evening.
• If you visit in winter our sitting room has a wonderful fireplace for coal/wood fires.
• There is wi-fi throughout the house and a television in the sitting room as well as one in one of the double-bedrooms.
• Our son's room has an amazing elevated bed and lots of toys and books.
