I'd like to start out by saying I travel with Airbnb a lot and I'm a suoerhost in Cyprus so I have a good perspective on hosting and traveling. Chris was the best host I've ever met through Airbnb. He was flexible, helpful and felt like a friend by the time we left!! His local tips we're SPOT ON right down to "insider info" like the right times to arrive places to avoid crowds. :-)
The area: for me the area was perfect for what we wanted! We didn't want to be in the hustle and craziness of London proper for our down time so staying in a diverse quiet community was just what we wanted. The nearby tube station though takes you right into the heart of London in just 30 min so we got the best of both worlds!! Busy fun city days and super quiet calm nights.
The space: again excellent! The loft is in a townhouse 3 storey "walk up" which I saw as quintessentially English! :-) it was so cool and decorated with lovely touches. Chris lives on a lower floor and as 3 ladies traveling we found his proximity to be a HUGE plus. our space was completely separate and 100% our own but we felt an added layer or security knowing he was in the building. The loft was clean and very sweet and lovely with everything we needed. The bed was comfy and we slept great each night. Exactly as expected and I'd say even better.
In summary we will 100% stay in the space again. The whole experience was EXACTLY what Airbnb is meant to be: people sharing space and meeting each other. Thanks Chris and see you next time!!!
