I'm so glad to have stayed at Amanda's place. It's my first stop for the long stay in the country, and I really feel welcomed. Airbnb and living with the host is always my preference, as I think living with someone with a different demographic is a major part of the journey.
Amanda is kind and generous, she has given me valuable advice as a host and as a friend. It was never boring staying with Amanda, sometimes just chilling together at the TV, sometimes we'd listen to her sharing about arts or other personal experiences.
About the place, it is well decorated with style. It's like living in a gallery with everything well-equipped, the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. The furniture is very nice as well. I am not particularly good at pets but living with the three cats is also fun. The surrounding area is alright, and I get my groceries online anyway. Only 15 minutes to 2 different lines of tube stations, and I always walk along the canal to the city centre.
I never felt for one second I was in "someone else's house". I slept well and had a perfect time in this place. I can simply say that I am lucky to have had the chance to make this reservation.
