Only one word comes to mind to describe Joan's place: PERFECT! From the moment Joan got in contact with us, to the last few minutes before check out, our entire stay was just glorious. My boyfriend and I were visiting London primarily for a friend's engagement party so we chose Joan's place for the location (i.e. close to our friend's house as opposed to right in the centre of the city). We found the area around the AirBnB so beautiful and peaceful (it is mostly built up with what appears to be families, as opposed to lively, roaring party places) which was right up our street! Only a few minutes away is Sainsbury's Local and a Tesco Express as well as a whole host of individual and chain restaurants to choose from! There's also a gorgeous little green/cricket field that was full of families and other people enjoying the sun (which we were lucky enough to experience on our stay!). We found transport links relatively okay - the best bet is to get a bus from right near the AirBnB to the nearest train station and then get the train into London (this was what we did and it took about an hour to get right in the heart of the city - we did actually walk back most of the way which was also highly enjoyable!). Joan is probably one of the most welcoming hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting and she ensured she was there to greet us (despite the uncertainty of our arrival time)! She gave us a quick, yet informed, tour of the place and pointed out all of the things available for us to use (from the little box of kit kats in the fridge to the varied toiletries in the bathroom)! I honestly felt gobsmacked at all that was provided in our stay! The facilities were fantastic - everything really is included to make it feel like your very own home! The bed was comfortable, the living/kitchen area spacious, the shower powerful and easy to function. There is even a private little garden area with 'conservatory' style seating area that we plan on using during our next visit, hopefully in summer! I honestly could not recommend Joan's place anymore and we can't thank her enough for such a perfect and delightful stay! :)
