We spent 3 days in London in the house of Orla and Titti.
Here are the interesting things to know :
The "less" :
- The house is noisy: busy road and very thin walls
We heard the neighbor's little girl crying in the morning
- The owners manage the rental of the house as investors. We negotiated the initial price and they accepted very quickly. But when we asked to come with our 8 month old baby (which was not expected) they took the opportunity to charge us a maximum. We tried to talk to them but the discussion was impossible ...
- Only a single key for 13 persons in a hidden box system not very handy when it's dark
- The subway and shops are located 12-15 minutes by walk
The « plus »
- The house is clean and spacious
- The owners make efforts to welcome the guests: small table for children, board games, welcome note and basic products for breakfast
- The nearest subway station is on the Piccadilly line which is convenient to reach the center of London
Conclusion: I will not return to Titti and Orla because I reserve on airbnb for the friendly atmosphere (and not profitability) and for the same price after surcharge, I will have booked another more central accommodation.
