It was our first time staying in an Airbnb that wasn’t 100% private with our own entrance, etc. That said, we felt welcome, safe and our privacy was respected! We had sole access to the bedroom, en-suite bathroom and downstairs kitchen and backyard, which was great. We only heard the occasional footsteps from upstairs and the entrance door opening or closing. No big deal!
Jon greeted us with a big smile and a clear love for his home, and made us feel at ease right away. We had everything we needed to cook a nice meal and they even left us fresh bread, eggs, cereal, orange juice, milk and jam for breakfasts.
The bed was huge (although a bit hard) and the decor truly made it feel like a little cottage.
The immediate neighborhood is nice, although the area around the Whitechapel tube station isn’t the best. It is very close on foot though, so it was still nice to have access to public transport so easily.
The hosts were friendly and very quick to respond when we had questions or needed anything.
Overall, good value for money in a lovely typical London home.
We strongly recommend the Genesis cinema nearby, too!
