This was our first time booking a "private room" through Airbnb. We've always been more private travellers, booking entire flats, but threw all caution to the wind with our recent trip to the UK.

Needless to say, our stay with Sue, Robert, and their cat Rocky, was wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the world of private room bookings.

The neighbourhood is beautiful, and we felt very safe walking around, even at 11:30 at night. Plenty of transit options are a short walk away, making the location accessible and convenient. Be mentally prepared if you're hiking with luggage - you'll be going uphill!

Sue and Robert are so lovely, and make you feel at home immediately. We were lucky enough to enjoy a few drinks and a chat with them the night before we left. They're both very friendly, open, and warm people. I can't wait to return. :)
