My first experience of Airbnb, and it went so well, I was delighted.

Nevena was a friendly host, right from my first email contact with her, which gave me a good feeling; the strawberries and smoothie on arrival was a thoughtful touch.

Nevena's home was lovely, I felt very comfortable, safe and welcome - the room looked exactly as in the listing - and the house was wonderfully quiet at night. The bed was very comfortable, too, I slept very well.

Nevena was generous with her time and her enthusiasm for and knowledge about her lovely neighborhood, and very helpful with tips and local travel advice.

The location was great for me (I was travelling for a work event in Peckham and stayed two nights). The bus connections to the city are excellent (and 24 hours), and the neighborhood and Nunhead felt safe to me; I made this trip alone.

Thanks to Nevena I enjoyed a lovely pastry and tea at 'Homemade' on Barry Road, and the wonderful view over the distant St. Paul's from the top of Nunhead Cemetery (a view I wouldn't have known to look out for without Nevena's pointers!).

All in all, I wouldn't have changed a thing. And I'm pretty sure that I had the better experience amongst my colleagues, who stayed in 'budget' hotels in Peckham for well over twice the cost per night of my stay.

I would definitely be happy to stay again.
