Helena is an outstanding host of the greatest kind. She's warm, friendly, and kind. I didn't quite feel I was staying at an Airbnb but rather with a friend. Then again, we're friends now. I stayed for 5 nights as Brexit unfolded and though I spent most of it traversing London, I had a lot of great conversations with her over coffee or breakfast. Five-star experience all the way through the room, amenities, and communication.
The room itself is lovely. Plenty of room to sleep, plenty of room to store things. West Hampstead's a nice neighborhood with pubs and restaurants within walking distance and close to the tube if you need to get around. If I come back to London, Helena's place will definitely be home base! Much love Helena.
