I spent three nights at Helen's while doing a course nearby and really couldn't have asked for a better host. As soon as I booked the room Helen was really helpful, replying quickly to questions, giving me directions and telling me nice places to visit in the area. I was really lucky in that I got to see Helen sing when I went to pick up the key (highly recommended, she has a wonderful voice!) and she was really welcoming and friendly.
The place was easy to find and is about ten minutes walk to the Royal Oak tube station (also ten minute walk to the London School of Journalism). The room was just as it looks in the photos: spacious, clean and comfortable. There was even a kettle with tea, coffee and biscuits. Everything was clean and working and Helen was nice enough to provide me with breakfast, which was lovely.
Helen herself is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to the area and recommended loads of places and the best routes to get there. She was even so kind as to lend me one of her own scarves!
This was my first airbnb experience and I feel Helen has set the bar very high! I don't have any complaints at all and I can't thank Helen enough for making me feel so at home. If I ever return to London, Helen and her wonderful cat will be my first port of call!
