Graduation and vacation
The hosts were wonderful and respected our privacy. The description of the apartment matched what we found! The courtyard was our favorite part! The buses were a short walk away. We hope to stay again someday!

Handy location great for a getaway
Ben was always helpful and prompt in communication. This garden suite has two bedrooms, a comfy couch and full kitchen which was great for our group when visiting. We were able to pack in a lot as it was so close to the city (it seemed like we were 20mins away from all the hot spots).

Great place, great location, amazing hosts :)
We loved our stay at the Griffin House! There were four of us and the flat was well laid out for it. The hosts were so kind to set the place up for us as we came in late. The gardens are exceptional. The location is very convenient. There is a co-op 5 minute walk but if you prefer a well equipped store just across the street! The Stockwell station is a 10 minute walk and gets you right into the City Center for the sites. Brixton proper is maybe a 15 minute walk where you will find a very active area with all kinds of things to explore. Kitchen was well equipped and the shower was great. Highly recommend :)

Place was nice
The property was nice, backyard was great (we didn't use it much). The couch could use an update it's old and not very comfortable and the photos show what we assume are other rooms in the house that weren't part of the basement suite we were in. The hosts were easy to get ahold of when we needed towels or to replace sheets. Overall the stay was fine, it was further out from everything they wanted but if you like to explore and take the tube it's a good location.

Perfect location!
Just a few minutes from the Stockwell station, this beautiful home served 6 friends and family members absolutely wonderfully. We were very happy with the flat and all the amenities it came with. If we ever come back to.London, hopefully this house is available. Also, Bruno is ADORABLE!!!

Great Location, Great Host!
Wonderful home away from home, complete with garden and dog! Easy walk to tube station and short ride to central London, and a store across the street for essentials. Most of my stay I was a woman traveling alone and Nico, Ben & Bruno made me feel safe and in great company. I didn't have time to try all the wonderful day trip suggestions and nearby activities Nico told me about, but I hope to come back with the hubby to do all the things. Thanks for a great stay!

Spacious Two-Bedroom Apt. with Garden!
This was our first trip out of the US towards the end (we hope) of COVID, and we could not have picked a better place to stay. Our 10 day visit at Griffin House was spectacular. The apartment was spacious, clean and quiet. Underground and/buses to Central London to the north (10 minutes on Underground) or Kew Gardens to the south (20 minutes on Underground) were close by and plentiful. The garden was beautiful with three semi-private sections. We enjoyed getting to know Brixton and Clapham, both within walking distance of the apartment. There was an incredible selection of multi-ethnic restaurants in both neighborhoods and our favorite neighborhood pub on Brixton Road had out of this world vegan burgers, plentiful outdoor seating and a great beer selection (Brixton a favorite). Our trip was a “working vacation” for both of us, and the apartment had fast and reliable internet and plenty of rooms with doors to enable us to be on Zoom calls simultaneously. To top it off, our hosts, Nic and Ben, surprised us with a bouquet of fresh flowere for our 20th anniversary. As soon as we returned home to Brooklyn, New York, we booked our next London holiday at Griffin House!

Loved staying here.
We had too short a stay in this flat and hope to come back again to enjoy the lovely garden in better weather. It was very convenient to the tube and also to a range of fun restaurants in Brixton. Ben and Nic were easy to reach by phone and although Nic was ill and Ben out of town, we were able to obtain everything we needed. We could hear the dog running around and barking in the morning as it seems he doesn't like to be left alone in the flat, but that didn't bother us...no other noise and super comfortable beds. Thanks for everything, we hope to stay here on our next trip to London.

Great flat(s) close to the tube for a London stay!
Ben and Nicholas are two very engaging, informative, fun and helpful (Ben talked me back to the flat at 11:30 at night when I got slightly lost my first night out alone) guys with two flats a 7-min walk to the Northern and Victoria tube lines. Both flats are comfy and the upper flat has a bedroom that faces the garden that is light and airy and quiet. The downstairs bedrooms face the street so there is noise at night, although I am hypersensitive to noise and often wear earplugs. There’s a full kitchen in the downstairs flat and stores nearby if you want to cook, as well as a variety of restaurants representing the breadth of cultures in the neighborhood. The lovely garden is accessible to the downstairs flat, although we were out so much we never got to take advantage of it. Ben and Nicholas will do whatever they possibly can to help make your stay comfortable.

Lovely spot in a great area! Ben and Nic were gracious hosts.
The flat itself is great, but the real selling feature is the amazing gardens in the back. Multiple different areas with many plants and even some animals (a chicken and several rescued turtles). The neighbourhood is fantastic too, walkable to Brixton and easy bus rides to other good areas. My family and I had a very nice time. Best wishes to Ben and Nic. Vince

Great London Spot
We really enjoyed our stay at griffin house there was so much history with that house! House was clean, they left milk and fruit for us. Easy walk to the stockwell tube station for access to london and fun pubs just a short walk away. Slightly cramped with 5 so I think sticking to 4 would be better but we made it work! Great communication with the hosts and super simple instructions. Thank You!

Excellent stay. Wonderful property.
Thank you for a great stay. Very helpful access instructions - being able to drop bags off early was tremendous. Sitting out in your wonderful garden enjoying the super hot weekend weather was the icing on the cake. We had a great wedding weekend - made easy by the location of your lovely apartment.
