My mother, husband, daughter and I had a fabulous stay at Marie's home. Everything was as described, and it was great to be in a home (rather than a hotel) when we came home tired from our adventures or when we needed a day to just chill. The view overlooking the canal and London and the beautiful flowers on the patio were a real treat every day. The area strikes me as an up and coming community with artists, and the canal is a lovely place to walk and take pictures - and dodge bikers and joggers! Marie and her family welcomed us when we arrived, shared tips and information, and let us borrow their Oyster cards (the best way to make your way around with public transportation!) Marie is also phenomenal with all communication - it made me feel much more comfortable as a first time Airbnb-er. One tip: We knew there was no air conditioning in the home, and the cross breezes were helpful, but if you are a warm sleeper like some of us are, it might not get cool enough for you - it all depends on the weather.
