Amanda's flat is just gorgeous. We loved the eclectic and colourful design, enhanced by little touches like flowers in every room and candles in the sitting area. Amanda is a great host who was quick to answer any questions and had generously supplied little touches like delicious cookies, coffee, and a bottle of wine. We were on the go all the time so didn't cook but the kitchen is so well-equipped that it made me want to! I've stayed in a lot of AirBnBs and it's rare to find one that is homey and truly equipped if you want to cook but this one is - all the basics and lots of dishes and pots and pans. Plus, there's a beautiful farm-style kitchen, a huge garden with fresh herbs and a barbecue, and a dishwasher. Really, I want to return just to use the kitchen! The beds are REALLY comfortable and the duvets so soft and fluffy I wanted to take one home.
The neighbourhood is lovely, with lots of families and a cute main street with great shops and restaurants (we recommend The Whippet - adorable and delicious!). Queen's Park is a short walk and the transit options are frequent and plentiful. It's not close to a tube station but frankly, the overground is better since it's OVERground! If you are travelling east to west it's really convenient and if you want to get to the centre, you can connect to the tube or take a bus. We loved returning to a quiet, residential neighbourhood at the end of the day.
Check-in and out were effortless and personable. Truly one of the best AirBnB experiences I have ever had.
