Marianela & Elena have been dream hosts!
It's one of the best airbnb stays that I've had. I could see their attention to detail in their interior design choices for their guests. Comfortable private room with desk and working chair for those who work from home, comfortable firm bed, lots of light through the window, and their choices of soft warm light bulbs made the private room perfect. The photos in the listing looks staged, but that's how the tidy, clean, well organized the flat actually is, even feels a bit more spacious than the photos.
The kitchen and bathroom were spotless and stayed that way for my entire stay. This was important to me since eating out in London is so expensive, but groceries are comparatively much cheaper. I would discover small snacks or fruit left for me which was a delight. They would offer me new sheets and to clean my room cause my stay was a bit longer.
The location is great...it's on a very quiet residential block, but half a block away is a vibrant area with local shops, a street market, a 3 minute walk to the train line that takes you anywhere in london, and 10 minute walk to a huge mall and bigger grocery stores.
The best thing was that Marianela & Elena themselves are the sweetest. Always polite and considerate, I barely noticed when they were home and we would hang out and chat when we would run into each other with amazing suggestions of the cheap eats around the neighborhoods. It feels like your own flat when you want it to and close roomates when you run into each other. You can tell they are very experienced hosts and care about their guests. Have no worries about choosing them, you'll have an amazing stay!
