Emily was very communicative during our stay in London for 5 days. I felt the place was more rustic and older than is advertised in the pictures. The couches were super comfortable and I slept on them a few of the nights. The living room itself is very spacious and great for an evening in. The rooms are more cramped. The bed upstairs was pretty firm and the bed downstairs was so flimsy that I rolled on either side of the bed if I went to either edge. The wifi works great in the main area, but not so well in the rooms. This was not a deal breaker. For a few of the mornings, the tenant downstairs was working on gutting and renovating the place so there was quite a bit of noise for a while.
The location is perfect. Paddington station, which leads to most places in London is a 5 minute walk from the airbnb. There are plenty of cafes and mini-markets in the area as well.
