This was our very first experience with Airbnb. I can't tell you how pleased we were with our experience. Our hosts Julio and Bruce were super friendly and knowledgeable about London. They were eager to give advise and help us plan our days. On a suggestion from Bruce we were actually able to catch a glimpse of the Queen. While I can't guarantee that everyone will see the Queen, I can guarantee you will have a nice clean place close to excellent public transportation and access to many different local restaurants if you would like. We came as guests but we left as friends. Can't thank you both enough. PS: they provided a light breakfast every morning as well!
