This was my first experience using Airbnb as a substitute to hotel (rooms) and I must say (for London), I have found a perfect solution!

I stayed at Margaret's home for 3 nights and I found the experience to be personally enriching. Margaret is a great conversationist and very warm, but not intrusive. Her home was very much a "home away from home".

The house and room are cosy and functional. The room being of a very good size and clean, with a comfortable bed, and plenty of storage space! You also have your own bathroom which was a requirement for me. You might want to ask how to use the shower before stepping in, it took a "second" to figure it out.

Upon request Margaret will make a fantastic English fry (breakfast of sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs, toast). This is quite a big deal for me because I have lived around the world, love an English breakfast, and there is no where to get a proper English breakfast served (of course) than in England! She does it very well!

My trip was partially for leisure and partially to do some professional networking and the location was just right for both! It's between 5 - 7 mins from the underground, in a nice and quiet and clean neigbourhood. You will be everwhere you need to be in no time!

It was truly a comfortable and "easy" trip to have made and most of that was down to the location, having Margaret as a hostess...and having two days in a row of English fry!
