This was our first stay with Airbnb and I'm afraid we have been completely spoiled for future stays! Piers was BEYOND excellent, communicating clearly and quickly with us before we even arrived in London and making great suggestions for travel. We picked up the key from his housekeeper's business and they were incredibly nice, even walking us out of the building and showing us how to get to the flat (it was VERY close and on the way from the underground station).

The location was perfect. It is a little bit away from the major touristy places in central London (what we wanted), so you don't have to deal with the astronomical prices and crowds, but we could get where we needed to go via the Underground very quickly with the help of the Tube app. We were a 2-3 minute walk from the Mornington Station and a 10-15 min walk from Camden Market or Euston Station, but the street is still very quiet and there are a few shops close by to purchase groceries. We felt very safe, even later at night.

The flat itself was VERY clean (my biggest worry as a first time Airbnb-er) and I loved that Piers provided some travel books, cook books and even a couple of converter plugs. The wifi was also excellent, which was especially important to us since this was our first trip away from our toddler. We used Skype and FaceTime with no delays.

I highly suggest checking out Piers' suggestions of where to eat, especially Speedy's Cafe. Even if you are not a Sherlock fan, it was an excellent place to grab breakfast, not overly touristy (although we observed a few die-hard Benedict Cumberbatch fans come by and take pictures while we were sitting outside!) and pretty inexpensive (for London :p).

This will definitely be our go-to place when we travel to London again and I would not hesitate to grab this booking if it's available!
