This was our first AirBnB experience and we were very pleased with Vanessa's flexibility with our check-in/check-out timing. She was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. When we arrived in the neighborhood, it was a little challenging to find the apartment, as it is located on tiny side street. Due to a large amount of nearby building construction, scaffolding obscures some street signage, and there is some drilling and other associated background noise during the daytime hours.
Nonetheless, once we made it to the building and buzzed, Mirka was waiting for us as planned to hand over the keys. The apartment was stocked with milk, coffee and tea, a bottle of wine and apples. In addition to the "house rules" info packet, which had suggestions about the neighborhood, there were also maps and a number of helpful guidebooks. The wifi was also good in the apartment. The apartment's location was an excellent base for us to explore all of London, conveniently near a few tube stops and with a Sainsbury grocery and shops nearby. However, the immediate area doesn't have a ton of restaurants, with some closed on weekends. Overall though, we were definitely satisfied with the stay and had a great trip.
