We had a great family vacation in London!! Many thanks to Geraldine for opening her beautiful home for the four of us.

Location Highlights: Listening to Big Ben every hour, the sunsets, (oh the amazing sunsets.....), wide view of London from balcony, two different "Northern" lines from Kennington tube station, much larger living space than hotel room, safe neighborhood.

Host Highlights: Provided document describing neighborhood, communicated to us two weeks in advance that workers were performing building repairs (so noise was not a surprise), arranged for friend to welcome us into flat in her absence, wireless internet, stereo for iPods.

The location is a bit tricky - there is no unique address of the building, and the map on airbnb web site was a little off. But a quick phone call was helpful to iron this out and a few remaining logistics.

This is our fourth trip to Europe since 2004, and first with our kids. Geraldine has two bedrooms so we were all very comfortable.

We stayed for a week but I wish we could have stayed longer.... When we return, Geraldine and her place will be our first on our list!
