We have been travelling with Airbnb for years across multiple countries, but rarely does a host deliver the exceptional experience which Georgia does. It is impossible to fault the experience and accommodation she delivers, as she proved during our first visit to London and now the second time with this different and fabulous flat.
This flat offers superb quality accommodation in every respect, with a very comfortable and large bed to a fabulously appointed kitchen, spacious living area with comfy chairs and charming private garden. Heaps of storage, spotlessly clean throughout, an over delivery of extra touches and provisions and a very, very thorough info booklet on day trips in London.
The flat is very close to Shepherds Bush station but also very private and quiet.
We simply could not recommend Georgia or this apartment highly enough.
This experience also re-affirmed that there are some great Airbnb hosts and some unscrupulous and dodgy ones, because the original flat we had booked in the same area, the one titled “Outstanding London flat” was cancelled, after we received a rock solid assurance from the host, Wenhao, when we booked in early July that she would not be cancelling. Wenhao has an appalling record of cancelling guests and we specifically asked if there was any risk of her doing it to us before we booked and she faithfully promised us she wouldn’t. And then - one week out from our stay. - Wenhao cancelled, with no excuse given. She left us distraught, given this was a business trip - and as usual, airbnb did nothing whatsoever to compensate us or help us in any way. We enjoy staying with Airbnb but I have to say that their business model can be very unfair towards guests at times and is solely geared towards their hosts. I wrote to them about this situation and they didn’t even bother to respond, which is really poor form.
In any event, what began as a really nasty shock turned into a blessing when we booked with Georgia.
Thanks again Georgia for being a true super host. We’ll be staying with you again without hesitation.
