Hospitality is one of the most important virtues of faith. Welcoming a stranger is pretty much like entertaining angels.
Robert and Antonio welcomed us into their homes with open arms, immediately establishing a level of warmness and comfort that was unique to our shared home AirBnB experiences.
First off, the accommodations are excellent! The home is spotless clean, the neighborhood offers tranquility with the beautiful and peaceful Birchmere Lake just outside the window view from the upstairs living room quarters of the home. The bedroom is quite comfortable, spacious and cozy enough for a married couple. The bed and mattress were a perfect fit for a bodies and gave us an optimum sleep experience. The private bathroom was immaculate offering both a shower and a jet tub with both hot and cold water. The WiFi is very strong. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, spices, pots, and dishes and they’ve made it so easy to use it because everything is easily labeled letting you know where to find what you need. We can’t say enough at how organized, comfortable and clean everything was. In the bedroom Robert and Antonio left a black booklet that holds all a visitor would need to know to discover London based on the length of the stay, including their contact information and a host of other things. We love that when we first arrived, we were given a tour of the home and everything was laid out explained in advance. We hold a high responsibility as travelers. Grace and dignity goes both ways and as we are recipients of hospitality, we seek to be gracious guests treating the home as if it was ours and engaging with our hosts like family.
Because we we prefer to cook a lot of our meals when we travel, Robert was kind enough to drive us to the grocery store upon arrival, saving us the time and energy of having to go there on our own - especially after pulling an all nighter of travel.
Secondly, the location of the home is very convenient to a bus stop where bus #472 runs all night long (in case you stay out very late to the wee hours of the morning).
The day we left, we said our goodbye and it felt like we were leaving our very own family. Robert and Antonio thank you so very much for an outstanding stay in London! Should we ever visit your part of the world again, we’ll be sure to book with you again and if we could give you 10 stars, we would.
