As a first time Airbnb user and a first timer in London I didnt know what to expect but I am glad that I booked Viviene's place for my 14 days of stay. It is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Quick walk to bus stops and a few minutes walk to subway that can take you anywhere in London. i never had a problem finding my way. Grocery store is just few minutes walk and so is the Thames River and the beautiful Bishop Park.
The room is really cozy and comfortable. A nice place to come home to after a busy day of wandering around. The entire time I was there I always had a good sleep. There is a dog in the house yes, but she's super friendly, I never heard her bark or make any noise and for someone like me who doesn't own a dog and have a very keen sense of smell i was actually surprised that i didn't smell any dog odor at all.
The host? Vivienne is a lovely person. She replies right away and provided me with everything i needed during my stay, including tips on where to go, how to go there and places to avoid. She always welcomes me when I come back and asked how my day went. She's always up for a chat but also knows to give you the privacy that you need. I felt very safe staying at her place that I don't even lock my door!
Thank you Viviene! I hope that I am able to visit London again and will definitely be staying at your place again. Stay well!
