Vanessa is a fantastic host. She very graciously welcomes you in to her home and makes you feel at ease straight away. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her and I was welcome to use the facilities, including the kitchen and whatever food was available.

The room is fairly small, but comfortable and exactly as described and depicted.

The accommodation is very conveniently located in the Camden/Belsize Park area. Fantastic for all that part of north London has to offer. Belsize Park tube is an easy 10 minutes walk away and the bus passes right by the door. It's also no more than 15-20 minutes walk down the road to Camden market.

This was my first experience of Airbnb but it was certainly a good one from start to finish and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of trying it but hasn't taken the plunge yet.

Next time I'm I London Vanessa's place is the first one I'll look to book.
