Home truths:
*Since the photoshoot your host has updated the bedrooms – there is now one king-size bed and two double beds
*This home is typically occupied by a family, who rent it out occasionally – therefore it has a lot of personal touches and a "lived-in" feel
*The owner has a dog, so although the home is thoroughly cleaned before guests arrive – those with allergies should be aware
*Since you'll be based in central London, we don't recommend bringing a car here, as parking may be difficult and the best way to get around is via public transport anyway
