As a single female traveling alone to London (from US) for the first time, I was a little anxious about booking with Airbnb. But I could not have chosen a better host or location. Angel was exactly as her name describes and her house was in a beautiful and safe neighborhood with 2 bus stops within 5 minutes walk from her place. I’m from Memphis, TN, so public trans was an unfamiliar concept to me. But between Angel’s location and her helpful guidance, London public trans was much less daunting than I first thought! She really had no issue whatsoever bringing down her laptop and finding the best (fastest, cheapest, and easiest for me to understand) route for me to get from point A to point B. And honestly, where she lives was such an easy location to just walk on foot to and from. Albeit, sometimes a walk might take 30-40 minutes but with such great London scenery, why not?! I was in London so I wanted to walk. And walk I did. From her house through battersea Park to Victoria and Albert museum (I might have taken the more scenic than fastest route that day). From her house on more than one occasion walked to Victoria train station with ease and also walked from her house to Westminster Abbey and Parliament.
The bedroom was wonderful and such a comfortable bed. The bathroom was HUGE and so plenty of space for me to spread out. Angel provided me with tea every morning and she had a separate small refrigerator for my use only. Angel was helpful, thoughtful, considerate and ever so quick to reply in all our correspondence. Couldn’t have asked for a better hostess for my first London experience. (Oh! And I can’t forget to mention her two adorable -and dare I say, angelic- whippets, Missy and Jessi. They stole and kept a little piece of my heart! Xoxo)
