Tara was very helpful and the flat was lovely! It was super clean, had everything that was expected, and the location was perfect for me. I was really pleased by the remodeled bathroom and kitchen- all of the design and utilities were very nice, even down to the light switches.

Having a washer in the unit was really handy! I tried to use the combo washer-dryer to dry my clothes, but I should have expected it not to work (the combo units never dry very well). Everything was fine because she has a drying rack available to use as well.

A couple of small notes: The heaters work well but take a while to heat up, so expect to wear a sweater for the first half hour when you return. There was a similar situation with the water heater: Tara had asked me to leave it off except when I use it, giving it 20 minutes to heat up before taking a shower. Those aspects weren't terribly convenient, but otherwise, everything was great.

For my next business trip to London, I will definitely check on Airbnb first to see if Tara's flat is available!
