My wife, three year old son and I all stayed in Paul’s flat for a week. The quality of Paul’s home is only surpassed by his hosting skills - he is an experienced travelled himself and knows exactly what is required to make your stay an enjoyable one.
The flat itself is stunning - beautifully decorated with everything you could ever need. The back bedroom has fantastic views of the garden and the living room is enormous with deep, comfy sofas that are perfect when having a cosy night in. I could have slept forever on the tempur mattress in the main bedroom.

The location was great for us as we have ties to the immediate area. Buses go regularly to nearby train and tube stations if you want to head in to town. At first the parking was a bit tricky (narrow entrance and close to a junction) but by the end of the week I was a pro and Paul gave useful tips. There’s a row of shops within 30 seconds walk (I especially recommend the Portuguese cafe) and Crystal Palace is a ten minute walk.
Paul is a brilliant communicator and everything you could want from a host - easy to reach yet unintrusive, relaxed yet clear and informative. He struck me as a nice person who is genuinely comfortable sharing his home with others.
Overall a fantastic Airbnb experience. It’s difficult to know how it could be bettered. Thanks Paul.
