This was my first experience using Airbnb, and thanks to Anthony's timely helpfulness in the lead up to my visit, and the exceptional nature of the facilities once I had arrived, I will absolutely be staying with Anthony again the next time I'm in London, and will continue to use Airbnb when I'm going on vacation. I was in touch with Anthony constantly during this whole process, and he was enormously helpful the entire time. Once I had successfully booked the flat, he even sent typed directions with a map on how to get there, the wifi password (the wifi works great) and even a list of restaurants to visit in the city.

As for the flat itself, you can do no better. It has a bedroom with a very comfortable bed, a bathroom with great water pressure in the shower, and a living room/kitchen that is fully equipped, the refrigerator being the biggest selling point for me personally. Aesthetically it looks just like it does in the photos, which needless to say is quite nice. It is fully furnished with a couch and coffee table, a chair, a tv, and proper table with four chairs, with the Gherkin lurking just outside the windows. There is a grocery store just a few blocks away and an ATM machine as well, just ask the concierge (there are two of them, and both are very nice) and he'll send you in the right direction. During the night, it is extremely quiet. I could not hear much of anything from any of the other flats at any point in time during my stay, which was in stark contrast to the hotel I stayed at during my previous visit where I could hear just about everything. Rest assured, this is a very comfortable living space.

Arriving at the flat was simple. I took the underground from Heathrow at around 7:30am (the Piccadilly Line), switched lines at the South Kensington station (you can take either the District Line or the Circle Line to Tower Hill) and was in the flat lying down on the bed by 9:15am. It is a one minute walk from the Tower Hill tube station, depending on which way you exit. I suggest walking as far down the platform as possible and leaving up the stairs that way, otherwise you'll have to walk around the outside of the station which will extend the commute to the flat by 2-3 minutes at the most. Either way, it is an extremely short walk from the station to your room. The flat is also right near several very nice hotels, one of which, the Doubletree, has a very cool rooftop bar that offers a rather lovely view of the city.

If you're new to Airbnb like I was, send Anthony a message and ask him yourself about the flat. I had a fantastic stay, and I look forward to staying in Anthony's place again at some point in the very near future. Thanks Anthony!
