After my two night stay, it was definitely evident that Christina and Leslie deserve their Superhost status! From the booking process all the way to check-out, they went above and beyond what I expected of Airbnb hosts and I can’t thank them enough for their hospitality.
They were very prompt in replying to my messages and were very accommodating of my requests for a late check-in past 10pm and for me to leave my luggage behind till the afternoon on the day of check-out when I was catching my train. Their house is just a leisurely 10-minute-walk from Kings Cross and there was a Tesco Metro with extended opening hours for grocery shopping along the way. Traffic noise from the road beside their house was minimal even on the weekend, which was impressive for a central London location.
Their style and impeccable taste for décor was apparent throughout their whole house, but they also weren’t lacking in amenities either, with a fully functional kitchen (and ample fridge space) available for guest use. The modern bathroom was located on the first floor, and had a two-in-one bathtub and rain shower with decent water pressure, as well as a vanity mirror with lighting for make-up lovers.
The room itself is admittedly rather small, but I had already been prepared for it from the descriptions and pictures in the listing. It was definitely adequate for me as a solo 6ft/185cm-tall male, and the size and length of the single bed was good enough for me. I was surprised at how much they could pack within that small room, and everything I needed during my stay (e.g. hair dryer, hangers, fan heater) was available in my room. Leslie took his time to show me around the house and how everything worked during check-in, while Christina (who was lovely to chat with) was also nice enough to provide me with extra towels.
All in all, I would not hesitate to stay with Leslie and Christina again because of their amazing hospitality and the fantastic location of their beautiful, well-equipped home.
