I stayed with Carole for just over a week. She was a great host, always ready to help or initiate a casual conversation, but providing all the space and privacy I needed. The listing was clear, accurate, and provided all the info I needed. The House Rules is probably the most exhaustive and best written of all I have seen on Airbnb. Attending an event at the University of East London, Carole's home was the perfect place for me to stay - 30 minutes by bus and about an hour walk. Also, a much better value for money than staying at the local hotels. Surprisingly, getting to the main London attractions was easier than I expected, about 40 min or less by train to pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. I would definitely consider staying with Carole in the future and not hesitate to recommend her place to anyone.
Thanks Carole for being a great host.
