HOST: This was our first foray into the Airbnb world and we couldn’t have started with a more congenial host. She was extremely quick in responding to questions, concerns and everything else. Was also proactive in making sure our stay was fantastic.
LOCATION: we spent 3 nights in this unit and there are a number of attractions and tours all within walking distance. Piccadilly tube station is right across the street from this unit which was very convenient. There are a few clubs around the area and we found it quite noisy after midnight when trying to sleep with the window open but if the windows are closed they block out a lot of the noise. Lots of cafes and places to eat within a 5 minute walk. Easy walking to a number of theatres as well.
UNIT: unit itself while showing a little wear and tear was fine for what we needed. We are a family of four (both kids in their 20’s) and found it a little crowded especially when the sofa bed was pulled out. Can’t really comment on the kitchen as we did have plans to spend the evenings cooking suppers but ended up not getting back to the unit each night until after 10. Shower was great! Sofa bed was not the most comfortable to sleep on but it’s a sofa bed so you know what you’re in for.
CLEANLINESS: only reason I rated it at 4 is the balcony had not been cleaned from previous tenants and there were towels left out on the chairs along with bottles and half eaten food. Host was very apologetic and offered to send someone over to take care of this but was not necessary.
