My very first Airbnb stay was with Alison and her kids. Although I did not stay in the room pictured, the room was clean with towels, and everything I needed to lay out my sight-seeing plans of London. Alison was helpful, gracious and personable as were her kids. I was a bit concerned upon my arrival as Alison told me the house had been broken into the night before and she had just replaced the locks, however, while walking the neighborhood I felt perfectly comfortable with the area and appreciated her being forthright with her disclosure of the incident. The room I stayed in was downstairs along the hallway from the living room, toilet and kitchen which made it a high traffic area. It was a little stuffy with only one window that opened towards the garden. Overall, as a place to feel welcomed, and use as a home base while touring London I would stay with Alison again!
