I travelled with 2 teens and this was one of our first airbnb experiences.
I wish I could give Harriet's flat 20 stars! Harriet was wonderful with communication and helped ease a great deal of my anxiety about such a big trip with kids. She was in contact quickly when I had questions/concerns. Although we arrived a bit earlier than expected, we were allowed to get settled in. David was so friendly, welcoming and helpful in orienting us to the apartment and area. There were wonderful welcoming touches such as orange juice and wine in the fridge. We were also told to help ourselves to any food in the home, which was so kind. We had access to a washer/dryer, all kinds of utensils, spices and the necessities to make our own meals and save a great deal of money.
The flat is spotlessly clean and in a wonderful location. Many sights are within walking distance and if not, the tube station and buses are about 3 blocks away. There are express grocery stores very close, as well as several restaurants. The area itself is beautiful and safe - many of the old buildings, brick streets and alleys we had hoped to see. It was definately the historical perspective we were hoping for. The apartment itself is beautiful and very quaint and cozy. There are books everywhere on every subject imaginable.
There was more than enough room and comfort for 3 of us.
I would highly recommend this flat for a visit to London. The cost can't be beat for the location and size. But most importantly, the wonderful hosts and the sense of "feeling right at home". We loved every second of it and it was hard to leave! Thank you Harriet and David for making our trip so special!
