It was my first time booking an airbnb flat directly (despite me being a host for over 2 years). It took a while to find something in London but I thought Ali's flat would fit the bill since it looked great in pictures and took me back to my previous neighbourhood.

I didn't have much time to enjoy the flat in its full capacity however, it's definitely a place to rent and take advantage of! The open plan living room / kitchen is great and of course spacious. The bed is huge and comfortable and there is another bedroom with a big desks in case someone is actually using the flat for work / living space.

It was a bit odd at first to actually be in someone's flat for the first time but of course the positive part is that you have everything you can ever expect. Flat was clean upon arrival with two towels on the bed.

And now to Ali: absolutely lovely from day one. Quick responses, explanations, keys were easy to find and drop off, text responses were immediate.

Would definitely rent it again but next time probably with the family to make it worthwhile.
