My first experience with Airbnb and it was a very good one. Michelle was easy to deal with when we messaged and emailed. She was away when we stayed at her place so we didn't meet but everything was set in place before we got there. The location in the lane and stairs below the flat looked a bit weird at first (we arrived in the night) but the place itself was fantastic. We happened to get construction outside one Saturday morning but not much you can do about that.

The flat is big and fun (with a super shower) and everything else you would want, and the location can't be beat. Also, on the street off the laneway the flat is in is a Chinese shop called Shanghai Street. It always has a queue but go there and get the dumplings. And stay in Michelle's flat, it's gold.
