Anwar had very good communication and made my first stay with Airbnb very pleasant. You can tell right away he’s very nice guy. The place is about 100 m from a couple bus lines and there are local shops and diners which are quite nice. As London now has a homicide rate higher than New York City, I was a bit apprehensive in coming, but the area does feel safe even at night. There are a few local pubs around, but unfortunately they close at 11:30. But that’s the governments fault. However down the road there’s a spot open a bit later. So I think it strikes a nice balance between an area where you can go out and have a bit of fun but is relatively quiet.
The apartment was clean and modern inside and there’s an amazing amount of light. The bedroom window can be opened all the way which is great for ventilation and cooling. There’s a nice view as the entire wall is a window. The bed is very comfortable. Overall, a very positive first experience.
