Karen and Chris are great ambassadors for Airbnb.
From their speedy responses during booking and their flexibility in accommodating our check-in time we knew we were dealing with smashing hosts.
In the event, the innumerous kindnesses that they showed us throughout our stay exceeded our already high expectations.
We are familiar with the area which is very peaceful, with Broomfield Park a few minutes stroll away and lots of excellent bars and restaurants within walking distance.
We had a car and our hosts even provided off street parking.
Our four and a half-year-old granddaughter had a 'sleepover' on our first night and visited throughout the weekend. Karen and Chris had children's bowls and plates, a stack of recent kids DVD's and even dug out a dressing up trunk!
Our adult son stayed for a couple of days and when Karen and Chris realised we would have visitors they supplied a barbeque complete with all the accoutrements.
The accommodation is the ground floor of a three-story townhouse and has french doors giving access to a beautiful garden.
Karen and Chris live upstairs so had we wanted for anything communication was very easy.
The accommodation is so civilised and well appointed. Everything was of really good quality.
There were lots of additional perks from a vast range of books, DVDs, and music CDs to patio furniture and even a tree swing.
We were made to feel very much at home and we really hope that this review will not encourage too many people to book as we look forward to returning to stay with Karen and Chris again!
