Nicola, and cat Brian, are 5 star hosts. I was her first Airbnb guest, and had peppered her with a million questions beforehand from general to specific. She answered every one--and I forgot half. (Sorry Nicola) I landed at her place after 8 weeks of travel in Europe--exhausted. She immediately suggested a bubble bath! I hadn't seen a bathtub in months and that was especially welcome.

The neighborhood is upscale and convenient to everything. The 100 year old house is completely renovated. She provided tea, coffee, fan, brochures, tea kettle in the room. She even let me use the washer.

She cooked me wonderful breakfasts every monring--delicious. I was used to grab and go in my other Airbnbs, for the most part, so this was very generous. She showed me how to use the fancy TV system and I watched premium movies for hours. Another first in weeks of France and Italy. We would sit and visit in her lovely garden discussing her plans for the garden.

She invited me to hang with her and her friends during the London Rides event, so I got a whole day of living like a real Brit. That was better than seeing Big Ben and other tourist spots. In the evenings, I got to visit a bit with her roommates and learn about their extensive travels. Overall, a lovely visit and I recommend Nicola to anyone.
