Staying at Kate's home was absolutely everything we could have wanted from an airbnb experience. First, the house is on such a lovely and quiet street (nice neighbors as well!), but so close to the tube, Overground, and lots of buses. It is very easy to get wherever you need to go in London from this location.
Kate is just so kind as well, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She even provided some provisions for us since we arrived late in the evening! While Kate and her family were traveling during our time in their home, she had someone (equally lovely) available to greet us at the house when we arrived, and check in periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly.
The home itself is great. The upstairs part of the house has a comfy sofa, a great kitchen, and doors that open onto a fantastic outdoor space complete with a trampoline! Our 10 year old was thrilled of course, and we enjoyed it as well. We also loved dining outdoors most nights. Also, we were very happy to have use of their pool during our stay, which was a bonus since there was a bit of a heat wave during our first week in London. The bedrooms downstairs are very comfortable and quiet, and we all slept very well during our time here. **Another bonus--the bedrooms were cool and comfortable even when the temperatures outside were absurdly hot. There are 3 bathrooms, which is also super convenient. The house is ideal for traveling with children, and our daughter was delighted that there were so many of her favorite books at the house for her to enjoy.
There is a house manual that is very detailed, and gives you all the information you need about how everything in the house works.
I highly recommend staying at Kate's home, and we would happily stay here again!
