Patricia was friendly and sociable without being an imposition. We had many interesting conversations during my three weeks of residing at her home. Patricia is very accommodating, and I appreciated that she allowed me to do laundry. Not only is Patricia a great source of information about London and its logistics, but my room had map brochures and other source materials available in planning my stay.

Patricia's home is no more than five minutes to the underground (subway/tube). I found the location to be very convenient to almost every historical and entertainment venue in London. The underground is relatively easy to use. I was in London during the height of the tourist season. Needless to say, the city was very crowded and hectic. I appreciated the fact that right off the underground Kilburn exit to Patricia's is the business district with many diverse restaurants, markets, and pubs that I found enjoyable to use without the same degree of crowdedness and expense as in central London.

I am glad we have Airbnb. No hotel could provide the services that hosts like Patricia provide. Not to mention the easy access to the underground, and the local business establishments near her residency; all three factors provide great value for the money compared to comparable hotel rates.
