Well, what can I possibly say about my time at Tessa's? I can think of a word: Delightful! This being my first experience on Airbnb, she set an exemplary standard in terms of communication - from the very moment I requested a booking with her.

Once I had arrived, Tess was a truly courteous and friendly host, who afforded me a genuinely warm welcome and offered a wealth of information about the area surrounding the Barbican Centre. In this respect, I particularly commend her for the guide that she has written for her guests - it leaves no information to be desired. Even though I spent an overwhelming portion of my respective days exploring London, Tess was always happy to have a friendly chat and answer questions. She was also very flexible in terms of dropping and collecting my luggage on my arrival/departure days, something I genuinely appreciated.

In terms of the flat, it leaves nothing to be desired - the kitchen is particularly noteworthy for its quaint charm and its relaxed feel. The location is quite central, with Barbican and Moorgate stations only being short walks away. Given their positions in the London Underground network, they are perfect launching pads for exploring the city and reaching attractions within a few stops.

Supermarkets (Waitrose and Tesco Express), as well as ubiquitous eateries like Starbucks, Pret and Eat aren't too far away, either. I wholeheartedly recommend Tess to anyone wishing to have a friendly, uncomplicated and relaxed accommodation experience in London. I shall certainly be back for more!
