###The Host:###
There has never been anyone as kind, generous, or accommodating as Araceli. She offers truly exceptional hospitality and goes beyond the call of duty to make your stay as memorable as possible. Our evenings were filled with lively conversation and delicious homemade food.
As I was returning after a long trip abroad in Asia, she offered invaluable advice about the areas to visit, how to get around, and other local knowledge of London you won't find anywhere else. She even assisted me in finding more permanent accommodation post-stay.
###The Process:###
Despite traveling extensively, I was hesitant to try Air B and B because I have always enjoyed staying at traditional hotels. This stay, however, changed my mind. I was a little nervous since it was my first experience with Air B and B, and I was concerned the lack of feedback on my own profile would be a deal breaker or looked upon negatively, however, this wasn't the case. I checked in without a problem. Araceli was notified of my arrival time from the airport through a message. I arrived horribly late, but was greeted warmly, given keys, and had coffee. The atmosphere was familiar, it felt like coming home.
###The Location - ####
The location of the B&B is excellent. It's very safe, there are convenient transport connections, and it's easy to reach Central London. It is easy to get around London using the Imperial Wharf overground, the safe and frequent buses, and the tube network. I work on the Central line and it was no problem to get anywhere I needed to. While it is not the only way, I recommend hopping on the bus just around the corner to arrive at Earls Court station in 5 minutes to take advantage of its excellent tube connections.
###Feedback:###
I cannot suggest any improvements to the room, I stayed in (Araceli has two!) it was comfortable and toasty after being out in the British weather, but I will say that she has some lovely cats who love to lounge around. Even though I am slightly sensitive to cats, I did not encounter any issues due to their good manners and short hair.
###Conclusion:###
Would I recommend Araceli's place? Definitely. You will not find a better value stay anywhere else in London.
