An altogether fantastic experience. Believe the hype! During my quick two-night stay, Toral did everything from spot me the £10 I was short for my arriving cab ride (who knew they didn't take credit cards?) to guide me to great nightlife and sightseeing strategies to cook me two incredible and healthy breakfasts. She was a vibrant hostess with a great spirit.

The neighborhood is full of amazing and easily-walkable restaurants (definitely try the Argentine place half a block away) as well as a number of hip bars and pubs to grab a drink(s). I walked across the Tower Bridge to the Tower of London in 10 minutes! It's definitely a nice area that offers a taste of real local fare while still enabling easy access to tourist attractions.

The room in Toral's place is upstairs with a huge bed, plenty of closet space, a view outside to the park across the street and it's own well-appointed bathroom. Toral even left some complimentary toiletries to welcome the stay - like a hotel! The kitchen is amazing and what she cooks in there is even better.

As a first time airbnb guest I was quite pleasantly surprised with the experience. Far exceeded my expectations. I will certainly be using airbnb again in the near future. Thanks, Toral!
