This was a great first start with Airbnb. Catherine is an ideal host. She communicated frequently leading up to the trip, providing tips on the best transportation options to get to her flat. When I arrived, she was lovely and even helped me carry my (heavy) luggage up the stairs. She also had some fresh fruit and milk in the fridge.

The flat was lovely, clean, and well-appointed. Considering I was just off of business trip, I spent more time there than I planned. Perhaps it was a bit too comfortable.

Catherine provided street and transportation maps. And she was always just an email or phone call away.

The neighborhood was great. There are a couple of blocks of shops just across the street including restaurants, and 24 hour mini-market. It's a quieter neighborhood then those closer to Central London, but I appreciated it. Besides, it didn't take long to get to more bustling areas.

There are a couple of bus lines that run just in front and the tube station is just a 10 minute walk away.

Overall, it was a great visit. I'd love to stay there again and I would highly recommend this listing.
