This was my first Airbnb stay, and I could not have hoped for a better experience! The location was excellent (in vibrant, beautifully diverse Brixton), with a large room, separate entry, spotless modern bathroom, big comfortable bed, and plenty of amenities - including TV with Amazon Fire, a number power outlets, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, access to a washer and dryer, and dinnerware and utensils.
But what made my 2-week stay outstanding were my gracious thoughtful hosts Justin and Xavier, their adorable baby girl and a pair of friendly kitties. They are experienced hosts who have perfected the process and offer a great value for excellent accommodation. When I arrived, Justin did a great job of showing me around and mentioning things like regular garbage collection and deliveries, so I would not be alarmed by the activity outside. And when I left, he helped me with my luggage.
It was the perfect mix of privacy with a welcoming family just upstairs ready to answer questions, make recommendations and lend a helping hand. I would HIGHLY recommend Justin and Xavier's Airbnb to anyone visiting London for business or holiday.
