This was my first experience with airbnb and it has been a great experience! I stayed with Marie and Sal for two weeks after I had decided to relocate to London. Communication with Marie prior to my arrival was great along with exact directions that even I could not get lost.

The room is cosy with plenty of storage space, wifi and a comfortable bed. The rest of the house is very homely and immaculately kept. The house is always very clean and you can see how much love that Sal and Marie put into their home.

Location wise it is very conveniently located on the Piccadilly line so there is no need to transfer tube lines when coming from Heathrow. The Holloway Road station does have one flight of stairs but after that, there is a lift and 42 steps. It is also only two stops away from Kings Cross St Pancras and a few stops from Leicester Square/Piccadilly Circus. Buses are also easily accessible and come by frequently. There is a Sainsbury's near the station and a Waitrose, Boots and a whole row of other stores very close by.

I very much enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to book again with these lovely ladies (if you're lucky enough to get a spot). Both went above and beyond to make myself feel welcome in the home, in London and all the little things such as helping me up and down the stairs with a very heavy suitcase, having tea and bread available, Puddles (the very sweet cat) and even assisting with my move to a permanent place. I would like to say that not only did I find a great place to stay on my move over but also like to hope that I walked away with a couple of local friends :)
