This was my first experience of airbnb and if this stay - and Gordon and Jorge’s hospitality – is anything to go by, then I’m a convert!

The whole process of booking the room was painless, simple and fast, Gordon confirmed availability within minutes.

The room was all I could have asked for – and then some! Super-soft duvet, pillows and towels, spare blankets and a sealed set of hotel slippers on the bed waiting for me. Everything felt brand new and very 'boutique hotel', even down to the cushions, lighting and art on the walls. It felt like I was the first person to stay in the room and it was lovely slipping into the crisp white linen sheets!

There was a welcome note and manual left out for me which explained how things worked as well as listing a number of local restaurants and bars. Very useful for new visitors to London.

And as well as the mini bar (such a great idea!), there was a hair dryer, iron, mobile phone, guide books and even an umbrella…in fact so many useful bits and bobs.

Gordon and Jorge have really done their homework and it really was ‘up there’ in terms of quality. Why would anybody pay hotel money when you can have such luxury with the warmth of decent hosts too?

In conclusion; great room, amazing amenities, fantastic location, friendly people and a couple of very beautiful cats!

Five star!
