FREE BUS TO AND FROM AIRPORT!
Entrance to building is in back away from the street.
The central bus station is in terminal 2. You may need to take the free Heathrow Express train to get there depending on the terminal in which you arrive. Depending on the bus, the Renaissance Hotel may be only one or two stops. If you go too far, ask the driver for a transfer to take you back the other direction before you cross the street to the other side. (I'm an experiential learner.) Better yet just ask the driver to alert you to the correct stop in the first place. It's very close!
This location is perfect for one or two people with a 24-hour layover or less near Heathrow. The hosts are friendly and eager to please. The stocked fridge provided me with dinner, breakfast, and bonus chocolate. I've stayed at many Airbnbs and this one has the most generous complimentary food. There was a loaf of bread, ham, Laughing Cow cheese, peanut butter (why in the fridge?), three kinds of jam, and a generous assortment of chocolates. Twinings Tea or instant coffee with an electric kettle provide morning caffeine. The toaster as well as an assortment of cold cereal and milk provide ample breakfast choices.
I'd stay here again. The hosts are new to Airbnb, but already really good at this and generous to their guests.
Did I mention the comfortable bed, clean, large shower with free soap and shampoo? (It is shared with the hosts.) there's also a large new flatscreen tv with access to local stations and Netflix.
Check the price for a room at the Renaissance hotel across the street if you must, but then book here if it is available. It probably won't be. You are in luck if you can get this room when you want it.
