Josh ( & his housemate Emilio) made us feel very welcome. They are both charming, youngish men, friendly, helpful and respectful. We are two women in our 60's spending 5 days in London - our very first Airbnb experience. We really did not know what to expect but the location of this place was perfect for our needs, and I liked the picture - the room looked light and airy - and the reviews were quite positive, so we thought we would give it a try. We were flying into Heathrow on an overnight flight expecting to land by 7 am on a Saturday. Prior to booking, I communicated with Josh to let him know our travel itinerary and to see if it would be possible to dump our luggage at their place early in the arrival day so they we would not have to wait until the afternoon encumbered by our luggage. He assured me that it would be OK, and we booked. He was there when we arrived, and even though the previous guest in the room was still in residence we were able to leave our stuff safely at the flat and go out to explore the neighborhood and have some breakfast. Josh was welcoming and explained the neighborhood, and in a relatively short conversation I felt perfectly at ease with him and no longer had any qualms whatsoever about staying in a 'stranger's home' - it felt perfectly comfortable. Over the five days we had several other conversations with Josh - all equally comfortable and when we explained that we would be leaving very early the following Thursday to fly out of Gatwick, Josh gave us some great pointers about different travel options to Gatwick and hired a cab driver for us ahead of time to drive us to Victoria station from where we could take the Gatwick Express. The neighborhood itself was lovely with everything you might need right around the corner. When we returned a few hours later and were able to move into our room, we found it to be airy and spacious as expected. There was also a couch which was comfortable and also handy for packing and repacking our belongings. Initially I was a bit disappointed not to have any drawer space to unpack into as I am used to. But then we realized that we had two good closets to use, one ideal for hanging and the other with several very big shelves, so that took care of all our clothing space needs. Also, there were several nice touches - a beautiful huge bowl of fruit - which we enjoyed immensely throughout our stay. Also there was a beautiful decanter of water and two nice water glasses of high quality which added to the feeling of luxury. One other thing with the potential to be awkward, was that we shared a bathroom. We knew it in advance, so it was not a surprise, but it was actually no problem at...
