Vacation Rental Description
This fabulous apartment is perfect for those with or without children wanting a stylish 'home from home' in London. Located in the heart of lively Balham, it's just a 2 minute walk away from Balham Underground and Mainline Stations - having you into the 'West End' in minutes. Balham has a huge choice of bars, restaurants and shops, including both Waitrose and Sainsburys. The famous Bedford Pub/Banana Cabaret live music and comedy venue is at the end of the road!  
 
Located on the 2nd floor of a Victorian conversion, the apartment is light and bright and has something of a 'penthouse' feel about it. There is a fully fitted kitchen with gas hob/electric oven, microwave, undercounter fridge, additional fridge freezer, large capacity washing machine, large capacity tumble dryer and a wall mounted TV. All the crockery, cutlery, pots and pans you could wish for are provided. The large lounge/diner has a 32" LCD TV with Freeviewand a stereo system with CD player. The dining table seats 6 very comfortably. There is a large leather sofa and leather relaxer chair. There is also a wireless internet connection (you must bring your own laptop). 
 
A baby cot/high chair/waterproof bed protectors are available on request. 
 
And if it's wide open spaces you're after - for a stroll or a jog - Clapham, Wandsworth and Tooting Commons(boasting Europe's biggest open air swimming pool) are all within a few minutes walk.  
 
And then where do you start trying to describe London's attractions? The history, the famous locations and buildings, the hundreds of activities to do, the thousands of shows and events on offer...and that's just in Central London. 
 
The fact is there are many many sources of information on such things, from websites to Tourist Information, so we shall not even try and do justice to London in a paragraph or two here. It is quite simply one of the world's great cities, where you could spend weeks and still not feel you have seen everything worth seeing. You pays your money, and you takes your choice, but one thing's for sure...you'll never be bored!

    Review Submitted: 2/5/2010

    Everything was 10/10. The size of the apartment and it's inclusions and furnishings were great. It was very close to the Tube station in Balham, which made for a quick and easy trip into town. Best of all there was a very large supermarket 2 minutes walk from the apartment. Thanks for providing such a great home away from home for us. It was our first time in London, but it won't be our last! I would definitely recommend Fernlea View to our friends. Lynne & Jaime. Australia. Sep 09

    Having been in contact with you, Julie, via email gave us a welcomed feeling even before we arrived. Everything we needed was there, even for our baby. We appreciated the easy check in via the key safe. Great information beforehand. Balham is a really good deal for familiies. Thanks a lot for all, hope to come back soon. Family Schneider. Germany. Jul 09.

    El apartamento nos gusta mucho, esta muy bien ubicado y muy ordenado. Julie, muchas gracias por tus atenciones! Tambien a Mike. (We liked the apartment very much, it is very well located and very orderly. Julie, many thanks for your assistance! And Mike too). Veronica, Julieta and Claudia, Mexico. Jun 09.

    The facilities in the apartment were good. The location and accessibility to public transport are excellent. There is a garden with 1st class furniture. In short, good location and arrangement.

    Thank you for a wonderful place to be. A good starting point for discovering London. Everything was excellent and it was really cosy. R. Hoffman. Germany. Apr 09.

    Julie & Mike Hippo Spotting in Tanzania Jan 2010 Personal Touch. Professional Approach. Specialists in South London Short Term Rentals

    We live in Balham, in SW London & are specialists in short term lets in the area. We are continually expanding our portfolio of holiday lets to accommodate the needs of not only holidaymakers, but other people who require stays from as little as 3 nights such business executives, those visiting family in Balham/Clapham/Streatham/Tooting/Colliers Wood, or people temporarily requiring a home due to improvements being made to their own & even those who've been unfortunate enough to be forced out of their homes due to accidental damages like fire. Whatever your reason, our comfortable and clean 'home from homes' will provide the high level short term accommodation you require. All of our apartments are within 20 minutes of the centre of London and very close to a Tube or Rail station, or both.

    Mike bought his first flat in London about 12 years ago - this is now known as 'Fernlea View'. I emigrated from Canada in 2001 and we have both stayed living in the heart of Balham because we love the vibe of it and the excellent transportation links into Central London. Victoria station is only 11 minutes away on the overground train and we can get to the West End in 15 minutes.

    All our our London holiday lets are done to the same high standards and are kept immaculately clean. We take great pride in what we do and draw from a combined 40 years of working in the travel industry. Mike has his own property development company, specialising in basement conversions (Balham Basement Company), so it's easy for me to ensure that all of our places are kept up whilst I concentrate on everything else that is required to provide a comfortable 'home from home' for our guests.

    In addition to operating holiday lets in South West London, where we live, we also have a lovely characterful cottage is the Sierra de Aracena in Spain, just northwest of Seville. We love the lush green mountains in this unique area of Spain that doesn't get dry and burnt out like the rest does. It's great for walking, good food & wine and experiencing the 'real Spain'. We try to stay in Casa Castano as often as possible. We walk from little village to village, stopping for tapas and a beer and then, tired out, enjoy the great views from our large roof terrace whilst listening to the birds. In the winter, spring and autumn we always have a real wood fire burning. It's the ultimate place to chill out!
