I feel I hit the Airbnb jackpot by staying in Susie and Jock's wonderful home. It was an ideal place to spend eight days.

The room is as described, but cuter than the pictures. It's very spacious, bright, clean, adorably appointed and just generally lovely, and the home is full of art and character and a sort of pervasive coziness. The location is a beautiful and safe street, so conveniently located to both the tube (two-minute walk) and lots of charming places to visit.

Perhaps the best of it was spending time with the extraordinary hosts, who I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and who were so very welcoming, funny and kind.

In short, I wish I grew up in this house, or at least lived there full-time now, but things being as they are I'm just glad I had the opportunity to visit.
