There are a few pros & cons with this property that, seeing as we were Michael's first guests, will only im prove over time.
First the pros...Michael is a great host who went out of his way to make us welcome. His 2 bed apt is in a typical council flat arrangement with a regular bus service directly outside, only 3 stops (6 min) from the underground station (Victoria Line). Alternatively it is an easy 15 min downhill walk. Walthamstow has plenty of shops, restaurants & a cinema as well.
Now the cons......being his first foray into Airbnb, & being set up by a friend there were a few issues with information on his ad. There was no mention of extra costs after 2 people until some personal messages later, effectively doubling the cost, which, if we had known beforehand, we may have not chosen this venue. Fully understand why considering it was only a 2 bed flat but nonetheless would have influenced our decision. Secondly, as this was a stepping off point for one of us to fly out of Heathrow & a amount of baggage involved, it would have been nice to know that there were 3 flights of stairs to negoitiate. Lastly, the flat was very cluttered, but clean, an issue that i have no doubt Michael will address gradually over time.
