As a first time Airbnb'er I wasn't sure what to expect from the whole experience. My sister and I hired Sarah's house for a family visit and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The house was spotless and felt very homely, it's in fabulous location only a few minutes walk from the train station, bus routes, shops and some great restaurants but the street was so quiet you would never know you were in London. Sarah was a fantastic host and although she wasn't staying there during our visit, her communication was fantastic. The whole experience has changed my whole perception of using Airbnb as an alternative to hotels. I would definitely recommend
