Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to 2 Bed House Open Living 6 Sleep Cosy and Spacious by Zaftastic Stays on Longley Road, you know you’ve found something different from the typical hotel experience. This isn’t your standard cramped London accommodation — it’s an actual house that feels like someone’s thoughtfully designed home, not a corporate property. The four-star rating honestly undersells what you’re getting here, especially when you see that 9.8 guest rating.
The Space That Surprised Me
The “open living” part of the name isn’t just marketing speak — stepping inside, the living area genuinely flows in a way that makes the space feel much larger than you’d expect. I mean, finding a proper two-bedroom setup in London that doesn’t feel like you’re playing Tetris with your luggage is pretty rare. The room layouts actually make sense, with enough space for six people without everyone tripping over each other.
Location and Getting Around
Wandsworth might not be the first area tourists think of, but that’s actually what makes it work so well. You’re far enough from the chaos of central London to breathe, but the transport links — well, you can still get to the main attractions without spending half your day on the tube. The neighborhood has that authentic London residential feel, with local pubs and shops that aren’t tourist traps.
What Makes It Work
Zaftastic Stays clearly put thought into the details that matter when you’re traveling with a group or family. There’s proper storage space (you know how rare that is), and the kitchen setup means you can actually prepare meals instead of living off takeaways for your entire stay. The whole place feels clean and well-maintained — not that slightly sticky feeling you sometimes get with vacation rentals.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.8 rating starts making sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s the combination of having genuine space to spread out, being in a real London neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble, and dealing with hosts who seem to actually care about your experience. For the price point compared to central London hotels, you’re getting so much more space and a completely different vibe — it’s like having a proper London base rather than just a place to crash.
To book a hotel in London during opera season, visitors plan ahead to balance Royal Opera House nights with quiet Regent’s Canal strolls.

"Lovely stay"
I love everything about the house. Airy, smells nice, pretty decor, comfortable beds and sofa. The area is also a great area, close to Lidl and halal restaurants, easy to go to Tooting Broadway station. Cooking utensils are also enough for us to cook everyday. The host is also super responsive and kind. He provided with cooking stuff, and also snacks for us which is so thoughtful. Self check in was a breeze too.
What could be improved: Nothing everything was perfect

"Very good"
The location was good, 15 minute walk to tooting Broadway, and bus stops just around the corner. Neighbourhood was very quiet, shops of all type just minutes walk away. The house was clean and well equipped with all you need for a short stay.

"Top! Very nice place"
Tutto! L'accoglienza è stata top.
Il proprietario si è mostrato gentilissimo da prima di entrare nell'appartamento. Sempre disponibile e cordiale, era pronto a venirci incontro per qualunque cosa.
La casa era molto pulita e in 5 ci siamo trovati benissimo.
Inoltre, è stato molto carino da parte sua farci trovare tutto il necessario dai prodotti per il bagno in ottima quantità ad accessori tipo phon, detersivo, prodotti per la pulizia, olio, sale, thè in bustina, caffè solubile...
La cucina era molto comoda: piastra ad induzione con tanto di istruzioni mandateci dal proprietario. C'erano anche forno e microonde anche se non abbiamo avuto modo di usarlo dato che la maggior parte del tempo eravamo fuori a visitare la città. Anche letti e cucini erano puliti e molto comodi.
Altra cosa degna di nota la posizione.
La casa è ubicata nella zona sud, ma con i mezzi ci si sposta molto facilmente.
Vicino c'è la Lidl. Il mezzo più comodo è stato la metro e la più vicina è Tooting Broadway che si trova a circa 13-14min a piedi. Ci sono anche diversi bus che portano lì nel giro di 3 fermate circa.
Davvero ci tenevamo a ringraziarla ancora infinitamente per tutto quanto.
Si vede che è una persona che oltre ad essere molto gentile, ha veramente a cuore la soddisfazione e la cura verso il cliente.
Non posso dare meno di 10 a questa recensione. Se ci dovesse ricapitare di visitare Londra, sarà di sicuro la nostra prima scelta
What could be improved: Nulla da dire, ci è piaciuto tutto
