One of the best Airbnb place I have ever lived in!
Caitlin’s place is as good as it gets to making you feel right at home and MORE. It has literally everything you need in house and goes beyond to what it should offer.
All the necessary utensils for cooking, from baking equipment to blenders to even auto grinder salt and pepper sprinklers!
she provides most of the seasonings and even some free food that you may need for breakfast and dinner. Few examples are, choc spreads, granolas, beans tins, rice, spaghetti etc etc.
She provides even basic life comfort stuff such as all the toilet rolls you may need to last a month, kitchen towels, kitchen rolls, etc etc that you need so you don’t have to do a whole months shopping whenever you stay in an airbnb.
Don’t even get me started with her living room and the kitchen space. Which are both connected to look quite aesthetically pleasing to chill and look at. You can even have your own cooking show while your friends or girlfriend will be watching in awe at the culinary skills you may possess and display. The pictures is exactly how it looks in real so there is no false advertisement.
She also provides pianos, ukulele, books ranging from as complicated as society/personal self improvement books to adventurous world travel books. If you aren’t the type to get busy and exert yourself, she also has a huge tv that has Netflix in where you can just relax in the most comfortable sofa you can lay on. Heck, I even slept one whole night on the sofa because it’s that comfortable!
The bedrooms pretty good too with mirror closets so you can get a good look at how good looking you are. Apart from that; I would say the bedroom is just normal. Good but normal.
Only drawback to Caitlin’s amazing place is the location. For you to travel to central London; you have to take the national rail south Bermondsey 7-10 min walk or the overground surrey quays that takes 16-20 mins to walk. This would be fine if it was on a busy street but both these walks are in quite isolated roads. Bermondsey path being in a main road but feels isolated and doesn’t have many people walking by. Surrey quays path going through bridge tunnels. Especially when it seems the most viable route to go central London. Fortunately there are cameras and people and cyclists walking by constantly.
I would not say it’s bad but I would definitely not walk here at night. Especially knowing its London; the stabbing capital. So make sure to not stay out late! Or just order a uber from Canada water, one stop before surrey quays before having to get on the next train to surrey quays.
Overall, I still think Caitlins place is a must to stay if you are ever looking for an amazing airbnb to feel very comfortable living in with your partner or friends etc for a holiday stay in London. Caitlin is also a great host that replies fairly quickly.
