I work remotely and was in London mainly for work so the location of Silva's place was good for me. There is a WeWork about 15 minutes away on the bus (very convenient!) and a handful of cafes within 5 minutes walking from her apartment that had WiFi.
There was an amazing grocery store right below the apartment and other amenities close by as well, like a yoga studio, store for toiletries, and more.
The apartment itself was as advertised. It was nice, the room was big, and the bed comfortable. Silva was very kind in letting me use her spices and would often offer to share some yummy bread from a local bakery or delicious banana pancakes she made.
The two things that caused me to make a low review are that one, the apartment was constantly cold. Yes, there were some days that were unusually cold for London and even with the heating higher it was hard for the radiators to keep up but in general, it always felt cold. She only had the heat on for a few hours at night and a couple in the morning.
The other reason being that Silva sort of dropped cat sitting on me with no prior mention of this. She was out of town for 3 different weeks for various reasons and expected me to feed her cat. She did mention that she could have friends do it but that would mean someone strange coming into the apartment both morning and night. I didn't feel comfortable with this so I just fed the cat. Cat sitting is an often paid service, not something that you pay to do. I need to mention that we had NO prior talk about this before my arrival Because of this I felt Silva handled the relationship of being my Airbnb host poorly in this regard.
