Isabelle is an extremely inviting, sweet and friendly host. We enjoyed meeting her, and she was very eager to please and help us in any way possible. It's clear she enjoys hosting, and she makes you feel very welcome. She's even reached out to local businesses to obtain deals for her guests and keeps a nice selection of menus (as well as tour books and maps) for the convenience of her guests. Isabelle clearly loves people and wants to make them happy and comfortable. We enjoyed chatting with her about careers, bread making and other hobbies.

The flat itself is cozy yet comfortable and very convenient for exploring London by foot (very close to good restaurants, the Underground and buses). Being cat fans, we also enjoyed meeting her friendly cat, Mr. Darcy. Isabelle laid out a lovely breakfast for us each morning and cheerfully asked about our day in the evenings while offering ice cold drinks.

We were (un)lucky enough to be in London during a heat wave in late June. Many people told us that London isn't used to high heat and humidity, and all over London we experienced a general lack of AC and even fans. Open windows in the flat helped a bit, but this is a fairly active area. The pub around the corner has an outdoor patio, but it does close relatively early (10:30, I believe). There is also an auto repair garage just outside the bedroom window, and the workers were rather noisy in the morning. All things out of Isabelle's control, and I'm certain we would have slept better had it not been so hot and humid.

Thank you again, Isabelle, for welcoming us into your home. You clearly enjoy and take pride in being an excellent AirBnB host. I'll likely avoid London in Summer in the future, so I'll gladly consider staying here again if we return to London in cooler weather. :)
