Rene was a wonderful host. She communicated quickly and answered all our questions (even responding to one query in the middle of the night her time!). She met us on arrival and walked us through the house, explaining the many great features and amenities. She provided a selection of food, drinks, and snacks, as well as some lovely flowers. She also gave us a number of excellent recommendations for shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. The house is located in Marylebone, our favorite part of London. Marylebone is an up-scale area with a bustling high street and loads of excellent dining and shopping options. It is convenient to just everything in the city. The house is perfectly located on a peaceful, cobblestone mews just steps from the high street. It is beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable, and fitted out with every possible convenience. It is one of the nicest AirBNBs we've stayed at in all our travels. We give is our very highest recommendation and hope to return to this beautiful house in the near future.
There are two minor issues worth noting for potential renters: The house is on three levels, and there are two sets of steep and narrow steps. That said, my wife and I are 60 somethings and had no problem at all (the steps actually helped us burn off a few of the extra calories from the great local restaurants). Also, while the house is blissfully quiet at nearly all times, there is a loading bay for a hospital just across the mews which is quite busy from about 8:00-8:30 a.m. M-F. We were up by then and so the noise didn't bother us, but it might be a concern for late sleepers.
