This was our first experience staying with an AirBnB host and it not only met our expectations...it blew right through them.

The flat, though it only had one bedroom, was huge. The bed was so comfortable, I think we actually slept better there than in our own bed at home! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for our cooking and cleaning needs. There was a ton of bread, jams and other assorted condiments left behind by Stanley and prior guests that allowed us to avoid eating breakfast out everyday. The living room has a huge comfortable sofa and big screen TV, which we honestly didn't get much use of.

We didn't have much contact with Stanley after settling in, but there was no need to say anything to him because he had left everything in such good shape.

The neighborhood is quiet and residential and far enough from the closest commercial street (Kentish Town Road) to avoid the hustle and bustle of nearby pubs and passing buses and cars, but close enough to still take advantage of the fact that we were in a an active, vibrant neighborhood close to central London. Supermarkets, shops, bars and ethnic restaurants are on nearly every corner. Plus, the closest tube station and bus stops are just a few hundred meters away

If given the chance, we would definitely stay with Stanley again...that is, if his flat isn't already taken!
