Vn gave us a warm welcome. Vn had given us a good communication prior to leaving home, but I should have made him aware we would have no internet between home and arriving. Vn was also very helpful offering advice about anything we needed. He has lived in this house for 50 years and knows the area well. He had some good tips - although as a seasoned traveler I do prefer to make my own decisions, a part of the travel / exploring experience for me.

The location of this residence is superb. An easy walk to bus and train, and once you know where the property is, easy to find. get the complete clear directions before you leave home, ideally with some pictures of the entrance from Queensway and a map.

This is my first time staying at an airbnb house. The room was somewhat misrepresented in the photograph: skilled with a wide angled lens, this room looks much bigger in the photo than it actually is. Having said that it is a comfortable side if you only want to sleep and dress. However, it is also somewhat tired, and in need of some makeover / repairs - ceiling paint peeling and ugly. The room was also very smelly - musty and not at all fresh and clean smelling. A tip for the bathroom - turn on all the taps and you will eventually get hot water. It takes quite a while for it to arrive. As an Australian, this does seem quite a big waste of water, but it seems the only way to get the hot water for a shower.

We had the use of kitchen, but on discovering we were to pay a fee for cleaning, I was uncertain why we were asked to wash our own dishes.

Overall a pleasant but overpriced experience. Next visit to London I think I'll go back to Couchsurfing.
