Simone is a superb advert for all that is great about Airbnb - welcoming, friendly, willing to accommodate their guest's needs (in my case extra luggage), as well as offering the occasional extra such as a complimentary dinner.
Although the room is not large the bed was very comfortable. The house itself is very spacious and warm. Muswell Hill is a very safe part of London and there are several buses into the centre just a few minutes walk from Simone's house.
All in all a great experience !
