My husband and I were planning a trip to London with our 22 month old boy and two of our friends. We looked to AirBnB to give us a basecamp four our journey when we arrived. This was to be our son’s first international flight – 11 hours direct –and we weren’t certain what to expect. During our search, we found Kim and Trish’s home after reviewing many others in the southwest area of London. We liked the photographs, the home’s proximity to Craven Cottage (Come on, Fulham!), the access to the Tube, as well as highly rated restaurants and shopping.
I contacted Kim when we decided on his place. He responded almost immediately. Kim’s communication was polite, professional and very sincere. This was a major plus for us. Kim and Trish’s home sold us through the photographs but it was Kim as a prospective host who clinched the deal for us.
When we arrived, Kim was waiting for us. He was ever so gracious and helpful. He gave us a brief but thorough tour of the flat. Kim had also stocked the refrigerator and shelves with enough food and drinks that we did not have to leave the home until we were caught up on sleep from the long flight. Kim encouraged us to contact him during our stay if we needed anything, even restaurant recommendations.
The flat was wonderful! The bedrooms were very comfortable and felt like a chic boutique hotel. The bedding and beds made for a great night’s sleep. The bathrooms were great with ample hot water and solid water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped; every pot, pan, plate and utensil was provided.
The location was perfect and made travel a breeze by foot, Uber or Tube.
We love London and should we go back soon, we would book a stay at Kim and Trish’s flat in a heartbeat! They were fantastic hosts and their flat was perfect for our trip!
