As frequent users of AirBnB in America, this was our first booking in Europe and of a property lived in by the owner who vacates for AirBnB guests. The flat was quite spacious and comfortable for relaxing at the end of long days of exploring the city. It was clean and tidy and had all the necessities frequent users of AirBnB come to expect. Joel was an excellent host and was very responsive to all our needs and queries. He recommended the Citymapper app for our phone, and that turned out to be an excellent tool for navigating the city - much more functional than Google Maps, especially when using it while walking.
The flat is a short tube ride to the core tourist areas – with Old Street, Angel and Barbican being the closest tube stations. We found the shops and restaurants on the high street (Upper Street) offered many affordable dining and shopping choices. We didn’t get to enjoy the huge private rooftop deck at the flat, but if traveling during the warmer months, this would be a huge perk for the property. Many thanks to Joel for helping make our trip to London a very memorable one!
