I stayed at Mena’s place for 3 months, i’m a 21 years old french student and i was doing an internship in London for my Bachelor’s degree. And, to be honest, i was anxious because this was my first Airbnb, and it was a long stay.
But i have to say: my stay at Mena’s house was fantastic.
Mena and her daughter were so kind to me. Mena made sure i never was missing of anything, she always asked me if everything was ok, or if i needed something... She was amazing. A wonderful host and a beautiful human being.
Now a bit about the place: so there is a bedroom (the bed is very comfortable and large, there’s a lot of space in the room), there is a bathroom (very functional) and a kitchen (with everything you need to cook except an oven.)
Big plus: you have your own washing machine and dryer, which is sooo useful and awesome to me.
The place is like a small appartment next to the real house, there’s an outside door that leads to the backyard where there’s the real door to the place: which means security and privacy. Also a huge plus.
I admit it’s not very close from center London BUT you have an underground station at Southgate at 17 minutes by walk (Northern Line) + multiple bus station at 12 minutes (Enfield) or 17 minutes (Southgate) by walk + an overground station near by.
The neighborhood is very quiet, very peaceful and cute.
For the supermarket: there are a lot of them all around the location: Morrison’s or Sainsburry at 20 minutes by walk. A Tesco express next to Southgate station or a sainsburry local next to the bus station (very convenient).
Never in my entire stay have i encountered any problems. It was perfect from the beginning to the end. If you need anything or have a problem, just ask Mena and i’m sure she will do her best to help you and make your stay better.
If i go back to the uk (in London), i will FOR SURE check Mena’s place availability first. I wish her the best and i hope her futur guests will be as happy as i am from their stay.
(If you’re still hesitating or looking for a place to stay in London, don’t. This is one of the best for sure and i say that honestly, from my heart.)
