We did not meet the host but spoke with her on the phone and she was very friendly and helpful, and we also met the housekeeper who was lovely. It happened to be extremely hot when we stayed there - our first night was very hot, but it was a bit too noisy to have the windows open because of the street noise, so the host arranged for a fan to be brought around which helped a lot.

The house was very much as the pictures showed, and very comfortable and large. We really enjoyed staying in the area, it was lively and cosmopolitan and with lots of amenities nearby and not at all touristy. This was out first experience of airbnb and it will not be our last!
