My first experience with Airbnb was at Robert's most wonderful London Bathurst Mews flat, and I was extremely happy with everything.

The location of the Mews house is ideal, and as Robert has described in his listing, is very close to Lancaster Tube, and some excellent restaurants . .. especially the Victoria Pub . .. a Must for any visitor! (best fish and chips I have ever had . . . really!)

Robert is an impeccable host, generous with his knowledge, sensitive in every way to his guest's comfort and well being. The lounge area, kitchen, bedroom and ensuite shower room are immaculately clean; the sleeping room is soundproof, a real bonus after frenetic days in London! The weather was particularly chilly, especially as I had just arrived from India, and it was wonderful to have a warm nest to return to each evening. The bed was divinely comfortable, and the linens were beautifully white, clean and fluffy. Just like the photos in his listing.

One of the best and most unexpected bonuses of the stay was the host, Robert. As said, he was a very generous host . . . understanding and appreciating the benefit of orienting the guest to their whereabouts, ensuring the kitchen was stocked with self help breakfast goods, even offering a glass of wine one evening. He was unobtrusive in his own home, respectful of the need for mutual privacy, but there when you needed some help.

I especially appreciated his assistance with my luggage on arrival and departure. This is truly a gentleman who understands the needs of a traveler, from having himself lived all over the world. . . .I feel like I now have a friend in London, in Robert.

Feel confident in staying at Robert's lovely Bathurst Mews home. I truly enjoyed my stay, making my visit to London so much more comfortable and memorable.

PS Loved the activity at the Hyde Park Stables at one end of the Bathurst Mews . . .
