I don't think I've ever sang the gospel of Airbnb until I met Tess and Dan. The space is mythical, certainly- clean, bright, organic surroundings, kitties padding around the garden. The neighborhood is perfect, sure- quaint but edgy, accessible, lots of excellent people watching, eating and drinking options, and on the historic Brexit vote day, full of conversation. The breakfast was Instagram perfect. But this review is really about how wonderful this family is, and gracious/ fun/generous of spirit/interested/interesting they are, and how much they embrace the opportunity to connect with people. Our first night was spent sitting around, in one of those nights you remember from your trip somewhere: when the things you ate and saw and watched fade but not the conversations you had. When we left two days later, we walked to the train station, grinning and gratified that we had the chance to meet Tess, Dan and the clever, sweet Sophia. Seriously, this is why you take that creative leap of faith not just on Airbnb, but on travel and opening yourself up to new connections. We thank you guys so much.
