We rented Marcus’s room as a “home-base” for our 5 nights London trip. This was the second time we have used airbnb to find a place to stay during our trips, and it was by far the best!
We liked how easy it is to get to Marcus’s place. It’s not that fast (30 minutes with the overground from Euston) but depending on where you get on the tube it does not involve a lot of changing and getting on and off. That was a nice plus for us as we don’t like switching trains and when taking the train from Euston we could just enjoy a nice book and get off at the end. From there it’s a 10 minute walk to the house on the high-street which is full of supermarkets and fast-foods.
Also we were surprised by the reassuring and outspoken manner in which Marcus acted: he explained everything we needed to know, always volunteering information and even helped us with our outlet convertors since we forgot to take any. If you don’t know something about the town, or what you want to do, Marcus will try to help you and he always provides helpful information. Our room was very nice, just as you see in the pictures. There were other guests in the house during our stay but everything was quiet nonetheless and there were never any problems.
Another thing we liked was the kitchen: big, well maintained and filled with everything you could ever need in order to set up a nice breakfast or dinner.
We highly recommend Marcus as a host and we plan on coming back for our next trips to London as it provided an amazing base for our “operations”.
