I had a fantastic time staying with Mike and Shuna. When I arrived, Mike was so friendly and welcoming and within half an hour of arriving we were having and a conversation about TED Talks and other things. I met Shuna later that evening. Mike and Shuna are such and interesting couple and they had some amazing stories to share – this is exactly why I love AirBnb, meeting all sorts of wonderful people you would normally never cross paths with. They were most hospitable. My room was fantastic (and yes, the bed is indeed super comfy as everyone says), and it was perfect for my short visit in London. They also have a great little rooftop terrace - perfect for working on your laptop. I've been to London many times, but they still gave me some great advice for places to eat and things to see and do in the area - I highly recommend checking out the Electric Cinema.

I never felt uncomfortable about anything and they were more than happy for me to come and go as I please. Want to make a cup of tea? Just ask! Need to do some laundry? No problemo! Need tickets printed out? Done! Want good conversation about all things charity, philanthropy, tech, cycling and travel? You've come to the right place! Next time I visit London, I'll definitely be looking up Mike and Shuna first.
