What a great experience! Catherine was standing waiting for us as the taxi pulled up, and as we arrived a bit earlier than normal check in, took us across the street for coffee while the unit was readied. I've been to London numerous times, and in this area, but this is certainly my new favorite. I'll plan any future trips now based on availability here. This is a wonderful apartment, in a well maintained building, overlooking the famous Abbey Road in the exclusive St. John's Wood neighborhood. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room itself had loads of storage. Catherine provided all the amenities we would need for our stay, and checked with us frequently is see that everything was going well. This is a really attractive flat with lots of nice personal touches. It's a great, safe area, with a bus stop feet from the door, and an underground station (St. John's Wood) about ten minutes away. There is a really good pub across the street, as well as a 24 hour grocer, and lots of great little restaurants within a block or so of the building.
Thank you Catherine, for a great experience. It really felt like staying with a good friend. If all airbnb experiences are like this I'll never go back to a hotel.
