Fantastic experience from first contact to check out. Monica replied to a few questions rapidly and within half an hour our reservation was made. My fiancé and I have not used Airbnb before but the bar has been set very high. On arrival (late) both Monica and husband Paul were there to greet us warmly, which was nice after a 3 hour drive from Plymouth. Due to the late time of arrival it really was a quick hello and tour around the house (the rooms we'd be using). The bedroom was immaculate and the bedding was comfy and welcoming. Cold bottles of water were ready for us in the room along with towels etc (they smelled fantastic). The bathroom was solely for our use. It was spacious and clean and there were two shower head options which was great. We opted for the light breakfast (included in price, but we were also offered a cooked breakfast with an additional surcharge). The light breakfast was anything but; pastries, cereals, fruit, filtered coffee, orange juice etc etc. Our favourite part was breakfast. Paul and Monica joined us at the table and we were swapping stories about travelling and just having pleasant conversation. We felt as though they wanted us there, whereas I assume some hosts just do it for a few extra pennies a week. Very lovely people and down to earth hosts. Fingers crossed we'll be able to book there next year when the NFL comes back to Twickenham. Thanks again for a lovely stay. Our only regret was arriving late and leaving early, we could have talked for days!
