I work in London / Wimbledon every week. I usually have a more permanent place to stay but as this is unavailable currently I took to Airbnb to find something else. I was very lucky to stay with Rosi and her lovely family this week for 2 nights.
Firstly i can safely say I have never been made to feel so welcome in a strangers home from the word go in my life. Although I got in late from work, Rosi was so nice offering me refreshments etc...
The accommodation is homely, clean, comfortable and relaxed. Perfect if your looking for that home from home experience. Water and little treats were left out in the room for me which was nice.
I slept like a log in the comfortable bed and felt refreshed the next day. In the morning I was offered coffee and a delicious cooked pancake round the family table. This let me get to know Rosi and her family better and they are such lovely genuine people. Rosi couldn't be more helpful and hospitable if she tried.
The apartment is in a lovely, quiet street in leafy Wimbledon, you can hear a pin drop its so peaceful.
It's location is great, 5mins from Southfield's Underground station which is a short journey from the city so perfect for me coming home at night. (Southfield's to Kings X takes 38mins) The next day I work in Wimbledon itself so the common, village and tennis is just on your doorstep.
This is my first experience of using Airbnb and it bodes well for future bookings.
Really can't recommend this place enough. The good news is I get to stay with Rosi and her family again next week and the week after. Looking forward to it already..!
Thanks Rosi, see you on Tuesday. :)
