My parents and I had a wonderful stay. Richard is an excellent host: responsive, informative, and welcoming. The location for us was ideal, as it was close to the friends we were visiting, in an area of London with which we are very familiar. Lovely residential block, a short walk from several parks that provided options for scenic running/walking routes, walking distance to an Underground stop on the Piccadilly line that takes you directly to central London. The light-filled house is immaculately clean and very well-appointed, with a modern kitchen stocked with everything you might need for cooking or cocktailing. Comfortable beds, plenty of extra bedding and towels, and a clean, modern design theme. A small garden with patio furniture will be a real asset in the warmer months (it was a little chilly for dining outdoors during our stay). Overall, a very comfortable and welcoming house. Other reviewers noted that the steps leading upstairs are quite narrow, which is true. My dad, who uses a cane, had to take a bit of care going up and down, as well as when stepping in and out of the shower tub, but these were both very minor issues that in no way detracted from our stay. This was our first experience using Airbnb, and we were a bit nervous about what to expect. We could not have had a better first-time experience. My only fear is that--having set such a high bar--other Airbnbs will have a hard time living up to our expectations!
