The experience in Lydia's house couldn't have been better! Mainly for two reasons: the house and Lydia herself!
The flat is as described, clean and tidy. Perfectly located, 5min walking to tower bridge and only 10mins walking from London bridge underground. The area looks friendly, so the walks back home were felt very safe. As well having a place to park the car for our whole stay was a relief. The parking slot is right in front of the house, and even if it's in the street it is in a quite private corner and felt safe as well.
Regarding Lydia i only have nice words. This was my first experience in airbnb and I'm afraid she has put my standards quite high from now on! She has been really helpful from the very beginning. She sent me the keys for the flat just in case she couldn't be there to receive us. She also made me aware of how the congestion charge in London works. Finally she could be there and waited for us to arrive even if we were late! She welcome us really nicely with tea and cake which was really appreciated after a 2h drive. As well she left us bread and ask us to help ourselves for food if we wanted to cook anything. In the kitchen table we found a London guide, oyster cards and a London underground map which was very useful during the whole stay as well!
In summary, a perfect flat with a really kind and caring about little details hostess. Definitely would repeat!
