Efficiency, affordability, hospitality. Amanda and Stephen's place was perfect for what I needed: a private room to rest my head while I was out busy during the day at work and setting up my own new chapter of life in London after moving from the U.S. I arrived late at night and key retrieval was super easy. The room is small and cozy as described and a quiet place to come "home" to after a long day to rest. While the room I had faced the street, the street itself was very quiet and in a pleasant family-feel neighborhood. The tube station, Southfields, was a several minute walk away with a few coffee shops and restaurants around the cross streets before you head into the city. I would absolutely love to return here to stay if I need an efficient, well-priced and well-located home away from home in London. Amanda and Stephen feel like people who have kept the heart of AirBnb - welcoming people all around the world and making them feel comfortable - against the tide of so many others who try to charge high prices and tack on extortionate cleaning fees while asking guests to also do the laundry before they go. The two of them will greet you and say goodbye to you with a smile and genuine humanity. x
