My girlfriend & I booked Joanna’s place the same day we were heading into London not sure what to expect. Shortly after booking, Joanna let us know she was actually 3 hours away from London purchasing flowers for her garden which meant we would spend 3 hours waiting in her gated front entrance. However, this was not Joanna’s fault! Airbnb forced her to have Instant-Book turned on, which means the app will tell you can check-in but this may not always be the case. It also did not help the train workers were striking and it was one the busiest Friday’s in London with 4 different events going on within 2 miles! Aside from the check-in issues the bedroom and house were incredibly clean, fantastic smells, and Joanna is truly a one of a kind host with wonderful stories and recommendations for London. It’s important to remember this is not a hotel or hostel, it’s a HOME! Joanna’s home, so as long as you book a day in advance I definitely recommend you stay here. Airbnb would be losing a great host if she ever left. Thank you Joanna for hosting us!
