A great first AirBnB experience.
A pretty good value compared to many London hotels, and a location near the St. Paul's Cathedral (and tube station) that always felt very convenient and safe.
Check-in took a little while longer than expected but was easy, the flat's rules were few, fair and totally reasonable, and check-out was totally hassle free.
Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living rooms were mostly very clean, if a bit rough around the edges from use and time. Some dust here and there, especially on the bathroom fans. Pretty good.
Appliances and entertainment accommodations were serviceable. Kitchen appliances were solid and worked well (though I had to look up the washer manual to determine what the symbols meant) and compared to a hotel it was nice to have a full, clean fridge, toaster and oven. Compared to a modern hotel room the TV was pretty dated with lackluster image, sound and no HDMI input to plug in external devices. WiFi initially had problems maintaining a connection but power cycling it improved it. I found myself wishing I had brought some kind of Bluetooth speaker to listen to my big British music playlist as well as podcasts and other things.
Host was communicative and helpful, and the person who checked us in was friendly too.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay again for the right price!
