Thomas' home is exactly as shown and described in the pictures. Basic amenities provided (tiny bottle of shampoo/soap in bathrooms, recommend bringing your own toiletries), it is a clean space with simple/basic furnishings you would require. It is located in a very convenient location (5 min walk to major Kings Cross/St Pancras tube station) and streets are quiet and safe at night. With 4 adults in our group we were very comfortable with 2 bathrooms to share. The bedrooms are in the basement with the main floor on the ground/street level, with a flight of stairs in the home you will need to climb up/down everyday (something to keep in mind for the less mobile).
We arrived early in the morning and requested to check-in early of which we could not as there were guests from the previous day, however, Thomas did offer to keep our bags for us in the unit while the cleaners prepared the unit for our stay which was appreciated.
Communication with the host was just okay. Response was quick when we first booked the home (within 24 hours). 2 weeks prior to our arrival we contacted the host to inquire about early check-in and if portable fans were made available (of which each room had) as we knew Europe was experiencing a heat wave and air-conditioning is not widely used in London homes. We did not receive any response and after 48 hours contacted Airbnb Support (as we also noticed Thomas' listing we rented was no longer searchable on the Airbnb Site, but later learned, after using long-distance to call Thomas directly, that there is a London regulation in place where renters cannot list their unit more than 90 days out). Airbnb Support finally responded to our message 1 week later! At which point they contacted Thomas for us, and only then did Thomas respond to our message. 2 days after our arrival, Thomas reached out to see how our stay was - we asked for more toilet paper/paper towels (4 adults 7 nights), however, never ended up receiving a response and went out to buy our own. All in all, our stay was pleasant and being our first time in London, enjoyed the city very much and look forward to returning in the future. Communication aside, Thomas' home was suitable for the 4 of us and would recommend his home to others.
