A real oasis in the heart of London, with John a gem of a host. I felt completely at home immediately, which was important as I had come to London for a big event. We were welcomed by John with a freshly-baked loaf, a full fruit bowl, milk and a bottle of wine. He carefully explained everything to make our stay comfortable. Must say I loved climbing up the ladder to my bed at night. There were three of us staying, so having a bathroom upstairs and an ensuite shower and nearby toilet downstairs, was perfect for us. The apartment is even better than in the photos, with everything decorated to a high spec. The kitchen was very well equipped. The communal garden was full of spring flowers and it was a real treat to be able to walk around the canal basin. John could not have been more helpful. His recommendation for breakfast - The King's Place - worked out very well. And he very kindly allowed us a late checkout so we could have a leisurely brunch by the canal at nearby King's Place (which John had recommended). So, thanks a lot John for making my first experiences of AirBnB so brilliant. If I need to be up in King's Cross again (or even further out in London) you will be my first port of call. Hazel : )
