Ralph home is beautiful and the room was exactly like the pictures. The room had everything we needed, a fan which was great for hotter nights, a hair dryer, tv complete with catchup tv and netflix, tea and coffee of great quality and a carafe of water. The room is spacious and is a lovely calming space to come back to after a busy day in London. We slept perfectly although my boyfriend did need to use the excellent ear plugs that Ralph provided due to the noise from traffic outside - we live in the country so aren't used to traffic noise!
The bathroom was also great and the standard of cleanliness and quality of product was great. Both shower gel and conditioning shampoo was provided as well as dressing gowns and towels.
The kitchen was also well equipped and although we never used it, plenty of fridge space meant we could if we ever wanted to. We also had access to the washing machine and dryer which was very helpful had we needed it.
We met the cat, Betty as soon as we arrived and she kindly greeted us. We love cats so this made us feel very at home and we were happy to have her company.
We met Ralph briefly once and he made sure that everything was in place and we were happy with everything- he was also always available to contact via Airbnb mail and always responded immediately.
The room comes with a folder with some great information, not only on the house but the surrounding area - it answered all our questions!
The house is located brilliantly and is a 2 minute walk from the nearest overground station with easy links to Shoreditch, Hoxton and Stratford Westfield. The buses are also great and we got a bus from waterloo to a bus stop 100yrds away from the house - it couldn't be an easier location. We loved exploring Islington and Angel and would recommend staying here just for the location.
Ralph was so accommodating despite not being around and we had a great stay and definitely hope to return!
