We had a wonderful week in Clerkenwell! The home matches the photos and was decorated for the holidays. There are a lot of steps in the house, and many are narrow and twisty. The garden room in the lower level smelled a bit musty and damp, but the library/cinema room on the lower level was cozy. There is a helpful house book with info and recommendations, but we still had to sort out the home theater through some trial and error, and we only ever got the Sonos to work in the Kitchen. The theater room was a nice option to take advantage of on Xmas Day and Boxing Day when much of the city was shut down. The house is definitely as old as its pedigree states, but it’s beautifully appointed and the art and collections are well curated. There are no wardrobes or dressers in the house, so we did end up living out of our suitcases for the week which meant we never really felt like we were completely at home in the house, but we made do. This was our first time staying in Clerkenwell, and the area has a really nice neighborhood feel. Tube stations are a 12-15 minute walk, but easily manageable. We had some issues with the hot water heater stopping working for us on the morning of our fifth day at the house. Paul and Shaun were responsive, did everything possible to keep the issue from impacting our planned day out, and had everything resolved by the time we returned to the home that evening. This was a great stay for my wife, adult son, and me, and a Xmas we’ll always remember fondly!
