This snug little Arbery Cottage was lovely. We enjoyed our stay here! Here are some things I’ll point out to help you with your Airbnb decision:
Pros-
•Check-in was simple and seamless
•Home was very clean, bathroom was spotless and kitchen was a great size
•Small place, but well laid out to maximize space
•Wifi was consistent and worked well throughout stay
•Host was very communicative and cordial
Things to Note-
•The upstairs room, where the majority of the beds are, gets very very warm when the weather is nice. We had to keep the windows cracked day and night to make it an almost-acceptable temperature for sleeping
•The description of this place includes several beds. We’ve slept in all 3- the double upstairs, the fold out wooden futon upstairs, and the couch futon downstairs. The fold-out wooden futon structure is not good for sleep. The mattress pad is quite thin, and you can feel the wooden slates through it. Also, the foot of the bed slopes upwards, so it’s really only good for a child to sleep on.
•This location is quite residential, in fact the Airbnb is next door to a church. This can mean that the road noise and local life “noise” can be quite loud in the morning, especially downstairs.
•The Area: The streets were ok, and there were several shops around. I will say that it took us 45-55 mins to get just about anywhere in Central London, and we went to several different places to test this theory! We didn’t mind, but it is something to factor into your trip. Also, the Tube stations are at least .5 miles away, but we ended up taking the bus which stopped at the end of the road.
All in all, a nice stay hosted by Damask. I simply wish that they hadn’t tried to pass of some wooden slats and a thin mattress pad as a bed, if we’d needed 3 beds, someone would’ve been extremely uncomfortable!
