Check in was easy and straightforward, easy to find and get into. Yan was the perfect host; easy to get hold of and onhand during the visit if needed. She was friendly, helpful and considerate. There was a comprehensive welcome pack.
Loved that this really was a sanctuary - very quiet and relaxed. As soon as you enter the building the hall is spacious, the whole place is airy and peaceful. It is situated in a Conservation Area. I also live in a Conservation Area but it is nowhere near as quiet as here. The bedroom was dark at night with the curtains closed - no need for a sleep mask - and again, very quiet- no traffic sounds, no neighbour noises, no barking dogs. The bed was very comfortable.
The outside patio area leading off from the bedroom was ideal. This Airbnb would take 4 people easily without feeling you're tripping over each other.
If anything, the photos in the listing undersell it - especially the kitchen which is more modern-feeling. (There are recessed ceiling lights in the hall, living area and bathroom which give excellent lighting, as well as conventional lamps. ) Cooking a Full English turned out very well, better than at home! - the range is large and comprehensive; the extractor hood works well. Lots of handy items in the cupboards and drawers.
This was a part-work visit. The broadband was quick and the large table ideal for either working at or eating. Needed to do some washing because of travel and that was no trouble even with a one-day booking - in the nearby utility room.
I've stayed at Airbnb type arrangements before but this was the first time I had found, booked and paid for one - it was a very good experience, especially compared to the 'hotel experience' in the area. Very handy for the airport - both by car and Tube. Parking is only restricted one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon and I arranged parking with the host easily. Local shops and restaurants. TV had a good quality picture, easy to use, Netflix included etc
Bathroom immaculate and shower worked well, quality towels :)
Would recommend and would stay here again.
