Perfekt fĂŒr Urlaub mit Hund in London

Explorer's Rest bot alles - und mehr - was wir von einem Ferienhaus erwarten. Es fehlte an nichts. Alles war sauber, die Betten hochkomfortabel, Berge an Informationsmaterial und ĂŒberhaupt viele nette Kleinigkeiten zum Entdecken. Unsere beiden Hunde liebten es, auf dem kleinen RasenstĂŒck im Garten zu liegen oder in einem der naheliegenden Parks herumzutollen. Die Anreise in die City ist allerdings wirklich recht aufwendig, aber es hat alles gut geklappt. Die Busfahrt - natĂŒrlich oben, ganz vorn :-) - war ein Abenteuer. Wir sind dennoch meist lieber mit dem Auto gefahren, Parken am Rande der City-Maut-Zone ist zwar teuer, aber nicht unbezahlbar. Eines Abends fanden wir sogar einen kostenlosen Parkplatz direkt an der Tower Bridge. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, und wir empfehlen das Haus uneingeschrĂ€nkt weiter.

Alles, was das Herz begehrt

Wir haben dank Kristas perfekt eingerichtetem Haus und ihrer kompetenten und engagierten Betreuung (auch von weitem!) sehr schöne Tage in London verbracht. Man fĂŒhlt sich bei ihr eher wie in einer Wohnung von Freunden. Die Gastgeberin hat an alles gedacht. Die Ausstattung besticht durch fĂŒrsorgliche GrosszĂŒgigkeit (Beispiel: Schöne HandtĂŒcher liegen in grossen Mengen bereit, der Tee- und CafĂ©vorrat ist aufgefĂŒllt, ein kleiner SĂŒssigkeitenkorb lockt die Naschkatzen, der Badezimmerschrank ist randvoll mit Toilettenpapier und Pflegeprodukten, im Schlafzimmerschrank warten wĂ€rmende Stoffpuschen auf die winterkalten FĂŒsse der GĂ€ste etc.) . Das Zentrum von London ist zwar nicht gerade um die Ecke, doch der gemĂŒtliche Vorstadtrhythmus und die bemerkenswert ruhige Strasse trugen viel zur Erholung nach turbulenten und anstrengenden Stunden in der City bei. Wir wĂŒrden gerne im Sommer wiederkommen, um im supergepflegten kleinen Garten zu sitzen (Grill vorhanden!!!) und können diese Adresse ebenso wie die Gastgeberin nur wĂ€rmstens empfehlen! Sabine, David und Fona

Rest easy explorers!

I stayed at Explorers' Rest for two weeks starting at the end of January 2015. Let me first say, that I travel A LOT! I stay in hotels, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals all over the U.S. and the world, so I've experienced the ups and downs of travel accommodations. For my first trip to England, I wanted to live like a local and not a tourist, but I wanted to also feel like I was living trendy and comfortably. Explorers' Rest embodies exactly what I wanted! The house is nestled in the friendly neighborhood of Plumbstead Commons inside Greenwich. The neighbors and locals are the nicest people, and you almost immediately feel like you're a treasured neighbor when you pass them on the street. The house itself, is efficiently arranged and meticulously designed. Within hours of staying, you fall right into the feeling that you've been living there for years and the house becomes more of a home to you then just some stay. It's eclectic for sure, but I imagine that anyone from a businessman to a family would find it ideal. Finally, and most importantly, is the owner, Krista. I've stayed at VRBOs before, and have had wonderful owners, but Krista treats you like a long-time friend! She arranges notes and directions for you all over the house to help you acquaint yourself with the surroundings. Not only that, but she's AMAZINGLY quick on the draw when it comes to e-mail correspondence, even going as far as to keep you up-to-date with the local news (while I was there, the buses and rail systems went on strike and she would tell me via e-mail from Sweden before I even knew myself!). My girlfriend joined me for the second week of my travel in the UK, and she too fell in love with the design and layout! So, if you're like me, and you're sitting there weighing your options on where you should stay (like I was) and you just can't make up your mind...let me help you...CHOOSE THIS ONE! I promise you, the only thing you'll have to worry about is dealing with your disappointment for leaving it at the end of your stay. Cheers!

GemĂŒtliches Domizil mit individuellem Charme

Nun ist zwar schon ein halbes Jahr seit unserem Ferien-Aufenthalt in diesem besonderen Haus vergangen, aber wir blicken noch mit großer Begeisterung auf diese Zeit zurĂŒck. Wir (2 Erwachsene mit beiden Töchtern, 11 und fast 14 Jahre) waren fĂŒr knapp 2 Wochen in London, mit der Absicht, nicht nur als "klassischer Tourist" die City zu erleben, sondern auch etwas vom Alltag um London herum zu erfahren. Das ist uns mit der Buchung dieses Domizils gelungen. Nach dem FrĂŒhstĂŒck im sonnigen Garten oder in der kleinen gemĂŒtlichen KĂŒche (hier hat es wirklich an nichts gefehlt!), fuhren wir mit den "Einheimischen" in die Stadt hinein, ließen uns hier von der unendlichen Vielfalt dieser einmaligen Stadt beeindrucken und freuten uns abends auf unser kleines Zuhause außerhalb der Stadtgrenze. DafĂŒr nahmen wir auch die Wegzeiten in Kauf. Die Randlage bot den Vorteil, auch schneller die SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten außerhalb Londons und insbesondere von Greenwich erreichen zu können. Das besondere Highlight war die persönliche Begegnung mit unseren Vermietern Krista und Erik, mit denen wir einensehr netten und unterhaltsamen Abend verbringen konnten. Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub in einem schönen Heim! Vera und Enrique K.

Ferienhaus zum WohlfĂŒhlen

Dieses liebevoll und fĂŒrsorglich eingerichtete Haus hat unseren 5 Tage Aufenthalt in London gekrönt. Wir sind zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder (15 und 13) und alle haben sich sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Es ist in der KĂŒche an alles gedacht, die Betten sind sehr bequem. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefĂŒhlt und nach einem mehrstĂŒndigem Aufenthalt im Touristenzentrum war es fĂŒr uns genau das Richtige nach Greenwich zu fahren und uns wie zuhause fĂŒhlen zu können. Alle Beschreibungen ĂŒber die Wege ins Zentrum und nach Greenwich stimmen genau und der Service mit der Oystercard ist super. Krista war immer ansprechbar und wir hatten das GefĂŒhl in allen Dingen bestens aufgehoben zu sein. Es war fĂŒr uns eine tolle Erfahrung, dass es Menschen gibt, die so viel positive Energie in ein Heim/Haus investieren und dieses dann anderen Menschen zur VerfĂŒgung stellen, vielen Dank dafĂŒr.

cosy and well appointed

We had a lovely stay at Explorers Rest. It is a very well appointed house with everything you could need and lots of advice/instructions available from the owner. All our dealings with Krista were business like but very friendly and always prompt. We loved our stay.

Home away from home

Explorers rest was a perfect home away from home for my family. I am so glad we found this place! Krista was so nice and easy to work with. She was thorough and fast and went over and beyond in answering my questions, from our first correspondence to the last. After we arrived, we could tell that Krista put a lot of time and effort into this property to make it a comfortable and relaxing home away from home for her guests. The property was very clean (inside and out), well maintained and the neighborhood felt safe. The beds were very comfortable and the shower and amenities were wonderful. The kitchen was set up to make it very easy to cook meals. We enjoyed the tranquility explorers rest provided after a long day out in London. The public transportation was easy to navigate and there were a couple of shops close by for basics. We truly enjoyed our stay at explorers rest and would stay again.

The Perfect Way To Spend A London Holiday!

If you’re looking for a welcoming home to stay at during your London Holiday, look no further. As travelers who prefer to immerse ourselves in the culture we visit, Explorer’s Rest was the perfect place to stay during our travels in London. This lovely home—situated in a charming neighborhood in Greenwich—provides travelers with the care and comfort of a relaxing and beautiful Victorian flat. Explorer’s Rest itself is lovely and enchanting. Throughout the picturesque home, we found helpful books, notebooks, and pamphlets on how to travel around London, as well as information on where to eat, shop, and explore the city. Additionally, small labels are located around the flat, which permitted us to navigate throughout the house easily. Books, DVD’s, and televisions filled the home, which enabled us to relax and enjoy our surroundings—especially after a busy day in London! Staying at Explorer’s Rest allowed us to spend quality time together. As we reflected on our adventures in the city, we enjoyed a nice meal, and a relaxing cup of tea around the kitchen table. Furthermore, Krista’s kindness and wealth of knowledge is what truly made our journey to London special. One could not ask for a better place.

Super Fereinwhg. mit Liebe zum Detail

Wir waren mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern (9 und 12) hier. Eine superschöne Whg., die sehr liebevoll eingerichtet ist. Es wurde wirklich an alles gedacht! Es gibt außerordentlich viel Infomaterial ĂŒber London, Verkehr, Verbindungen, AusflĂŒge - unglaublich viel MĂŒhe steckt darin. Die Zimmer sind super gemĂŒtlich, die KĂŒche und Ausstattung lĂ€sst keine WĂŒnsche offen. Die Kontaktaufnahme zur Vermieterin locker und unkompliziert, ĂŒber Internet immer erreichbar. Sehr nett! Da das Wetter sehr kalt war, konnten wir den schönen Garten leider nicht benutzen. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen, denn es war noch gemĂŒtlicher als beschrieben und alles sehr persönlich. Jederzeit wieder und noch mal vielen herzlichen Dank an Krista! Bettina Wallmeyer und Familie!

A place like home

We convey you glad tidings About a beautiful country, In that on my trip We found a special place. Old indeed, but reborn, It holds explorers rest. You open the door To a different world. No noise anymore Midst the global city, But softly scented air Envelops you. All kinds of furniture And decoration are Lovingly combined. The way through the house Is worth a journey for itself. Again and again lovely things Are discovered On every step. And not to forget: I’d never slept Better in my life Than in this bed. Kitchen and bathroom - You’ll never miss anything, If you stay for a short Or a longer time. The pretty garden and Outside the near park, Our dog was so happy As he were at home. In a few days You can’t see all. But now we know a place like home To come back to for the next time. ------------------------------------- A million times thank you, Krista, for everything you did for the house and especially for us! Love Andrea and family We stayed at Explorers Rest from 2011/09/02 till 2011/09/08

A home away from home!

Explorer's rest proved to be a great base for our London holiday, it felt like staying in a real home with all the comforts and atmosphere of being at home. Krista made us feel extremely welcome with everything from a welcome basket of goodies to a detailed manual outlining everything we could possibly need to know about the house and our stay in London. The house has been wonderfully renovated making great use of available space which in Victorian terrace houses is an impressive feat. While being away from the centre of London, the area is well serviced by public transport with ready access to buses going into London and a very short trip to the DLR. Because we were staying for a month and planning a lot of exploring we bought a monthly transport card but Krista has provided oyster cards for guests to use, you just have to top up the cards. There is a handy local shop for essentials and it is only a short trip to Woolwich for the market or a Tescos that has everything you could possibly need. The common is just around the corner and my daughter and her friend particularly enjoyed seeing foxes on the common and in the neighbourhood. If we were visiting in warmer weather I am sure we would have made use of the lovely little back garden at Explorer’s rest, which is an added bonus. We stayed in December, so a particularly cold time of year but Explorer’s rest was such a cosy place to return home to each night. The fireplaces were an extra bonus but not necessary for heating just nice for the extra atmosphere. Krista even provided Christmas decorations for our Christmas stay. Joanna who came and cleaned once a week during our stay did an amazing job, making the house always feel cosy, comfortable and welcoming. All in all Explorer’s Rest proved a great base for an extended London visit, with all the comforts of a home away from home and Krista made us feel incredibly welcome and provided us with all the information and tools for a great London visit. The only downside is that is possibly not the right place to stay if you want really quick access to all the central attractions but if you don't mind using the public transport it can make for a relaxing visit. Trips into horse guards on the 53 bus provided a relaxing trip into the city and the bus also stops right in front of the imperial war museum. The DLR and the tube were great for quicker trips. With the DLR being overground it also provided another way of just seeing more of London.

Truly Amazing Holiday Rental

I travelled here on my first international trip and am truly delighted that we chose this location. Krista is more than acommodating, the house is exquisite, and the location is fantastic. From the first email she helped my friend and I with the trip and was extremely prompt in her replies. The house has all the ammenities that you need when renting a home. I was able to cook full meals here in comfort and felt like it was home when staying here. The beds are comfortable and the house is wonderfully decorated. The location is safe and near public transportation making it very easy to navigate to London's city centre. There is a quaint pub and a local market around the corner as well. This house and Krista are truly a delight, and I look forward to staying here again upon another trip to London!

Perfect spot to explore London

Explorer's rest is the perfect spot to explore London and the Greater London Area. Situated in a quiet Victorian neighbourhood in Greenwich, it might seem a bit far from London's tourist attractions at first. But apart from the fact that Explorer's rest has a lot to offer in itself, it isn't actually that far from the city centre. Only a 2 min. walk to a bus-stop, then a 10 min. busride gets you to Woolwhich Arsenal, a transport hub from where you can take a train or the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) into London. And that is only a 20 min. ride, with lots to be seen along the way. The house itself isn't vey large but it's perfectly charming and extremely well kept. It sleeps 4 persons very comfortable (we were with 4: two adults and 2 15-year olds). Krita Vesey is a generous host. Lots of things are provided: books and dvd's (there are 2 televion sets with dvd-players), cd's, and there is a more than generously equipped kitchen. And another very large plus: we found it very interesting indeed to live for a week among average Londoners, in stead of just mingling with the tourist-folk. Near to the house are some convenient shops like a bakery and a grocery. A well-stocked supermarket is only a 5 min. walk away. The is also a pub closeby, as well as a nice park. Imagine travelling into London, seeing all the sights and doing everything else Londonish and after that just go home and make yourself a quiet dinner in stead of having to hunt half the evening for a decent restaurant! We will certainly return, and recommend Traveler's Rest to all that are looking for an unusual way to explore London.

Actually six stars would be necessary here

If you ever plan to visit London, you must stay at the Explorer's Rest. It's the ideal place for young or old couples or families with small children or with teenagers or groups of friends or just everybody. The pretty house is located in a nice street in a quiet area and was extraordinarily clean when we arrived. Everything is small and cosy. You've got two floors, with two separate bedrooms; and, if you want, you can also put an extra bed. Though the two people sleeping in the two double-beds should be well acquainted in each case since they are not very big/wide - but really beautiful. The whole house it very neatly furnished with a lot of taste and dedication. You will find everything you need in the kitchen; besides there is a dishwasher and a washing machine; and don't forget the cute garden! In the living room the London explorer can rest near a fireplace in the evening. We left our car parked in front of the house the whole week and went by bus, tube or train to all the sights. In the nearby surroundings one can find a bakery and all other kinds of shops but also restaurants to go to within walking distance. The owner has provided with an abundance of information in order to be able to explore London and its surroundings in the most extensive way possible. We can highly recommend this Home.

super séjour

Krista, Nous avons passé quelques jours dans cette charmante maison trÚs bien aménagée et décorée avec beaucoup de gout. Il ne manquait absolument rien et on s'est senti comme chez nous. Literie, draps etc.. impeccables et confortables De plus Krista est passée nous rendre visite à notre arrivée pour vérifier que tout était conforme à nos attentes. Londres est à 1 h de bus (notre choix de transport), l'arret le plus proche est à quelques mÚtres. Quartier calme, quelques commerces (suffisants).

Restful holidays

We stayed in the house for 12 days with our three children (8, 9 and 10). It was very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. We really felt at home. The owner provided a very good customer service - there was a welcome book with lots of great informations about nice places to visit. The area is very quiet and save. When we came back from the city of London we enjoyed the comfortable and quiet ambiance. Our children loved to play football in the nearby park. It was easy to go to the city of London. It only took about 20 minutes by bus and tube.

the best holiday ever

We are a family with two boys; we have spent in the house two fantastic weeks in July 2011. The property is absolutely perfect regarding everything. It's clean and tidy. You can find all you need since it's truly well organized. The house is extremely pleasant and the furniture is new and lovely. The garden is relaxing, well-kept and very nice. The location is fantastic; you can reach London easily but near the house there are shops and supermarkets, so that you can buy whatever you like. The neighbourhood is peaceful and safe; it's also good for children since you just have to cross the street and you find amazing enormous parks with enchanting trees. The property is definitely charming and the best thing is that you can experience living as English people do. This means that if you like travelling and learn different way of living you should experience a holiday with no hotels. You can reach the airports easily with no stress. The owner is kind, friendly and always prompt in providing you of everything you could ever need. I strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants to spend the most incredible holiday ever! We left there a part of our heart... Friendship we have found is even better than the best house we have ever rent.

A Fantastic Getaway!

Explorer's Rest is an absolutely lovely place to stay, whether you are looking for rest and relaxation, or want to explore the sights and sounds of London. Explorer's Rest has an ideal location in lovely Greenwich. You can take a leisurely tour through Greenwich and area, or hop onto a bus/train/DRL/boat and quickly and easily be in the heart of London. The location offers you the opportunity to experience the hustle and bustle of London, yet retire from and relax out of the crowded city at the end of the day. Explorer's Rest is a beautiful, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated home. It has a warming and welcoming atmosphere, which was gratefully received after a long journey. I took full advantage of the kitchen, which had everything and more to enjoy a lovely meal and mulled wine with friends in the comfort and warmth of the kitchen. Each room is decorated in a way that makes each room unique and elegant. Movies, books, and other small touches ensure the house feels welcoming and comfortable. I would highly recommend Explorer's Rest to anyone traveling or staying in the London/Greenwich area. You can travel at ease and peace of mind, with the unbeatable location and lovely condition of the house.

A perfect place for Londoner’s experience:

I lived in this house for over a year. I was working in London therefore I rented the house. I must say that living in this house was the highlight of my yearlong stay in London. First of all it is a beautiful Victorian house with two eye catching periods fireplaces. But it is also very modern and well equipped for “London life”. It is also very clean and comfy! To me Kitchen is the centre piece of this house. It is very well stocked and I spent lot of time cooking various continental foods. The garden is the perfect place to chill out!! It is green, colourful and quiet. During the summer I used to have regular barbeque with my friends. We spent some quality times on that garden!! My job in London was quiet stressful and long hours. I always enjoyed having a long shower with the power shower after hard day at work. (By the way the toilet has got automatic seat closer which is handy for a man!!!) The house is situated in a quiet and safe place. The house is close to all amenities. There are Indian, Chinese and traditional English restaurants & pubs nearby. There is also a supermarket within walking distance. More importantly there are some good quality fast food shops (Kebab and Fish & Chips) within close proximity!! Communication with other parts of London is excellent. You can literally hop in to the famous London bus from the next street. Also the train station is quiet close. There are some fabulous parks very near to the house. I used to enjoy flying kites there. I think the house is perfect for someone who wants to have “Londoner’s experience”. I also think that if somebody wants to live in London for few months he/she should seriously consider this house. One more thing, the house is pet friendly. My two rabbits also lived with me on that house and they also recommend the house!!!

Great Location, Great Value, Great Owner

I had the opportunity to stay at Explorers Rest in April of last year. The basics...it was CLEAN and well equipped! The beds were comfy and there was lots of hot water. The back yard was phenomenal. It was private and garden was lovely. The birds frequented the feeders and there was a lovely patio where you could sit and read – or just sit. There was everything you would need for an enjoyable stay including books, games and travel information. A couple of small shops were nearby where you could get basic needs and within a short walk was a well supplied grocery store. We felt quite safe in the neighbourhood. She arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport. We got around the city easily using the nearby bus stop, the train and the underground. She even had Oyster cards for us which you can top up at the little store around the corner and then use for traveling around all day on public transit just by swiping them over a card reader. We enjoyed a couple of beautiful walks, including one to an operating farm – just leaving from the front the door. It was no time until we were out in the countryside. In the three days we were there we managed a couple of trips into London, a trip to a small village, that giant mall, shopping at the charity shops, Easter Sunday in Blackheath at a neat church and then the market, a giant car boot sale, a visit to a downtown spa and some lovely walks. There were all kinds of experiences within a very short distance from the house. We had planned a trip to France and caught our flight from the London city airport within 20 minutes of leaving the house. The owner was very pleasant to deal with. She is friendly, straight forward and very accommodating. I hope it will be available the next time I return to London. I have stayed in a number of vacation homes and this one was one of the best.

Truly adorable!

My husband and I wanted a 'real Londoners' experience on our holiday and were really pleased with our choice! We rented this charming little home for almost two months. You can imagine that we were a little worried since we had never seen it but it did not let us down! We loved every second of our time here. And it was such a heavenly treat to be able to have the back door open into the garden, just like home. The biggest thing we appreciated was being able to wander through all the green spaces around the house and not worry about any sort of crime...you can imagine that is a real treat for us. Krista made sure the place was cleaned once a week and the kitchen was so well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc that we were as comfortable here as we were at home. I would go back in a heartbeat and so would my husband. I highly recommend this charming little home! In fact, I can't recommend it highly enough. You will feel wonderfully relaxed here.

Fabulous spot!

I stayed in this holiday home for a small number of nights and can wholeheartedly recommend it as an excellent spot for a romantic getaway in the wonderful city of London! The close proximity to parks and the vital east end of town make the location great. Attention to detail is clear in the furnishings and renovations. Fond memories of my nights here are largely thanks to the owner's hospitable graces! I very much look forward to the next opportunity I have to stay!
